Super fun and fast read! Some of the characters are interesting and I loved reading about them, others I didn’t like but still wanted to know more, and a couple just felt bland (but only like three). The plot was a great adventure and I loved following along with the puzzles in and around the Hawthorne family! I definitely can’t wait to read the next two books.

HOLY MOLLY that ending... also Grayson Hawthorne <3 The ending really disappointed me though

Overall I liked it, but some parts were more boring/not that shocking. Also, this book helped me get out of a reading slump!

 I hadn't read a fictional book by choice since my freshman year of high school. I'm 23! When I saw a Tik Tok about this book, I was like "wait... okay..." and decided to get it. It was so good. It got me back into fictional books, something I genuinely never saw myself doing. 

 

One thing I do want to add/ warn about is how the main characters are all teens, and between this book and the second one there is quite a bit of r*mance/k*ssing.... Since I am 23, that whole concept really makes me really uncomfortable and I always have to skim through these parts. I'm not sure if this is a common viewpoint to have, but I wanted to give that warning anyway!!

I really liked reading this book. It was a super easy read and since the chapters were so short I basically read the whole thinks in one day. All the characters have a compelling nature to them, and you never really know who to trust. I can’t wait to read the rest of the series!
