I almost gave this four stars because I feel like the magic element or whatever you want to call it came out of nowhere. But I love the evil MC. They gives me Leave Her to Heaven vibes. And honestly, that last twist did get me tbh.

Holy. Shit. The ending. Everyone says the last 20 pages are crazy and my god, are they right. The payoff is insane. 

I literally got to the last few chapters and I went “ah I know where this is going”. No the fuck you don’t. You think you do, but you absolutely do not. 

All I can say is this book is crazy - between 2 unreliable narrators, time jumps, and secrets, it leaves you guessing until the end. The twist is unexpected in the best way, because it takes everything you thought you knew and turns it on its head. The ending bumps my star rating from like a 3 to a 3.5
