I actually really like this book, I like the atmoshphere and how it would describe the setting of each scene, it was also a page turner.

I also find myself rooting for grayson rather than jameson despite him having more interactions with Avery . 

I actually like Jameson at first but I felt that he was too 'immature' for Avery, he didn't really think much about her feelings whilst Grayson had done things behind the scenes to protect Avery. I hope she ends up with Grayson, I wont mind if its Jameson but I would be happier if Grayson was her endgame, I think they balance each other out.

What a good way to get out of a reading slump! I read this entire book while on a flight to Chicago so I feel a little more accomplished than I would had I finished it on any other old day. It’s not a sad book but even the slightest mention of loss had me holding back tears in my seat. I miss Katarina and goddamnit I don’t think I’ll ever forget the feeling of losing her.  I know this review is lazy but I’m in a rush exiting the terminal.

I didn’t expect to like this book as much as I did. I thought it’d be predictable and not really my style. But despite my expectations, the book had me hooked within a couple of pages. I loved guessing along with the characters about what would happen and how they would solve each mystery. 
What I do have to say though, is that the book sometimes feels like a teen drama show. This is not a bad thing (one look at my old tumblr reveals how much I obsessed over teen drama shows, so yeah, definitely not a bad thing) but I still wanted to point it out. 
The only reason I didn’t give the book five stars is the fact that I don’t really vibe with love triangles. So far it wasn’t even all that bad, but love triangles just always leave a bad taste in my mouth. But oh well, I’ll see what happens in the next book. 
See, that’s another positive thing about the book, I didn’t wait a single second after finishing the book, before I ordered the sequel.

es un libro super entretenido, ame las vibes de knives out, pensé que era stand alone, después descubrí que era bilogia y ahora resulta que es trilogía jajajjaja, pero igual es super disfrutable, lo lees super rapido, me encantó como la autora pensó en el misterio y las pistas por resolver, pero lo mejor del libro son los personajes, tanto Avery como la protagonista y los hermanos Hawthorne, los cuatro me tenían enamorada.

This book had so much potential but it fell flat. When I heard it had exciting puzzles and riddles and secret rooms and passages, I expected that. Unfortunately, there weren’t many. I didn’t think the conclusion was very satisfying either. Over all, I just found this book kind of boring.
