At first, I really wasn’t sure why I picked this book up, but after the first 100 pages I couldn’t put it down. What made it all the more fascinating was its disturbingly possible premise.

The huge amount of characters made it quite confusing, but the ending and last 200 ish pages was insanely good.

Well-paced mystery book. Had me tense the entire time. Easy, smooth read once you get a grasp of the characters. The jumping around was a bit confusing. Exciting read, great elements and great character development.
