this was like unravelling a ball of yarn, as you read through everything starts to connect and slot into place nicely. Very thrilling and dark. The ending of whodunnit did feel a bit out of left field but it was still pretty climactic and a great end.

Jennifer Hillier has done it again - - she did not disappoint!! This book kept me engaged from page 1, it kept me guessing, and I couldn’t get to the end fast enough. SO GOOD!! I give this book 4.5 ⭐️s bc it was really good. Definitely recommend!!
