this was strange, and not in the way i was hoping it would be. the prose was nice though.
fast-paced

made me anxious in the best way,  everytime i put it down i couldn't stop thinking about it. the cliffhanger in this is one of the only ones i'm not mad at. 

Sadly, I did not like this one. I felt it had great potential, but the MC and the writing just lacked depth. I am good with unlikable characters but Alex was just not well developed.
