I’ve had this book in my TBR for over a year, I really enjoyed One of us is lying but I only read this one because I wanted to read the final book in the series

This book was very good and I finished it within two days. There were many twists and turns that made it harder to put the book down. The ending was very interesting with Owen and adds ties to the beginning which I liked.
