Bro murder in het eerste hoofdstuk no thanks. I like my mmcs morally grey maar dit vond ik gwn goor

I've really enjoyed the series so far, but this one was a little too much on the NC side of CNC, for me, despite the trigger warning.

Audio DNF at 5hr and 47 min. Loved the narrators but was having trouble with the story and couldn’t connect with the characters.

Random notes from my read:

* Why are literally all of her friends, such terrible friends?
* How is anyone even friends with Knox after that bet? I don’t understand why the entire group didn’t just kick him to the curve.
* How is violet not upset with HER bf’s part in the bet?
* Literally everyone is so shitty to her. Wtf was up with that truth question finch??
* What. The. F***, Knox?!

I absolutely love Miles! This book had me right from the beginning and I just couldn’t stop! I was so happy that the bet reveal was at the beginning because if it was through the first half I don’t think I could have pushed through it. I also just loved the way Miles looked after and took care of Willow especially when he noticed she had a serious problem and he worked hard to help her and prevent her from further spiraling.
SpoilerI loved that S. Massery kept the anger toward Knox about turning Willow over to the wannabe killer consistent at the end where he apologizes and tries to make amends but Miles doesn’t forgive him but eventually they are at least civil and it holds over through Twisted Obsession.
SpoilerI’ve read the series out of order due to some of the tropes in the previous 2 books that weren’t really for me but now that I’ve read both Secret and Twisted Obsession I’m going back to read the others because I’m absolutely in love with these characters and their friendships.

OKAY BUT HE FALLS FIRST?!?!?! LOVE
