So good! Usually when a story is told in multiple points of view with all of them using "I," I have a hard time keeping the characters separate. However, that was not a problem for me in this book because the two characters were so distinct in tone and were really nicely fleshed out. I also liked that it was a bit more realistic in them keeping their doubts about each of the suspects because sometimes I find that some books have it just a bit too much with having the characters putting all their eggs in one basket without having any reservations. Overall this was an excellent read and I'm excited to see what mysteries await us in the sequel!

4,5 - This was one of my most anticipated reads of the year, and it did not disappoint!

This is everything I expect from a YA mystery thriller: I loved the two main characters, the mixed media elements definitely elevated my reading experience, I thought the plot was well constructed and there were some red herrings, which made it possible to see the twist coming but which didn't make it too obvious! There are also some more serious subject matters addressed in this book, which I thought were handled well.

I did however feel like my interest fizzled out a little tiny bit in the last 50 pages or so (I think the pace got a bit slow there for me), which is why I rated it a 4.5, but still a really great book! Really looking forward to the sequel!

I think you'll really like this if you enjoyed [b:One of Us Is Lying|58679358|One of Us Is Lying (One of Us is Lying, #1)|Karen M.

The ending was amazing, though i say that every time i read a book. But the beginning and most of the middle was quite boring. It could’ve been better but it wasn’t awful

4.75 ⭐️ honestly this was a fun mystery. A little predictable but was perfect for what I was looking for right now. Pretty little liars meets scooby doo.
