Ok the hype is REAL!!
This took me a couple chapters to get into mainly cuz it jumps in feet first and i didn’t know wtf was going on but the more I read the more I was drawn in. I only half guessed ONE twist and all these others left me shook. I cared so deeply for Alex and the other characters when bad things happened I had to take a moment to breathe.

Read the trigger warnings before you start! So so so so good, but it is a very violent book. 

It has such an interesting premise, with multiple twists. I appreciated the fact that I couldn’t predict what was coming at each turn, this book kept me engaged from start to finish. I personally have never read anything like it before, and it’s definitely in my top books of the year.

I almost gave up on this book, but soldiered through due to supposed merit, anticipation and hype. It started to be interesting to me around 70%… I found some ideas interesting, some childish and the tell-all villain dialogue eyeball turning.
