3.5

I don't think I read this at the right time which is why maybe the beginning of the book didn't hit for me as much as I expected, but I did still enjoy it but only by the 40-50% mark I would say. After that it began to pick up speed and it was more gripping for me. I also had a hard time visualizing the ending, but maybe that's just me? It wasn't as mysterious as it lead me to believe; I knew who the copy-cat was from the start:/ But the way the author was telling it, it almost seemed like she wanted it to be very easy to guess? 3.5 stars because it was gripping and I still enjoyed London and Grayson's dynamic, although a reveal relating to her wasn't as fleshed out as I think it deserved to be. I still did enjoy the author's writing style though, which increased my rating slightly.

Oh. My. God. That's all I can say, but I'm pretty certain I'm about to read this author's entire backlog!
