I saw A twist coming but not sure what. And then as it wrapped up I actually got excited about reading subsequent books. We shall see!

It was a very fast paced and easy read. Would definitely recommend it. I did know who the real villain was almost immediately but it did take some turns I wasn’t expecting. I was hooked but not addicted. I will be reading the other books too.

Asså jävlar. De hände saker hela tiden och man ville alltid läsa mer och när man trodde man visste nått så visade det sig att man inte alls gjorde det. Först trodde man de va Nina som va ”den onda” men sen fick man ju reda på att det var Andrew hela tiden och Nina som blivit plågad och planerat att Millie skulle döda Andrew vilket hon ju gjorde. Millies backstory va ju bra och passande och värre än vad man trodde hahahah. Men i slutet blev de ju klart att Evelyn (hans mamma) va den som startade allt även om de inte är en ursäkt för vad Andrew gjorde mot både Nina och Millie.

Alle in diesem Buch haben einen an der Klatsche (respectfully (aber nicht bei allen respectfully))  und wenn ich der Mc in so einem Buch wäre, dann ginge das Buch auch maximal 2 Kapitel. Wäre bei der ersten Red Flag sowas von weg (und bei dem Buch gab es nicht grade wenige)
