3.5 rounded to 4⭐️
The characters were all so twisted and evil in their own way. There were some parts where it felt like it was such a drag but it got quite interesting towards the end hence the 3.5 stars.

Confusing, interesting. Really had me trying to figure out the mystery as I read. However near the end I was feeling very underwhelmed with how the story was unfolding and then the last page or so of the book changed everything!
