I like this book enough to give it 3.5 stars and recommend it to others.

The end was shocking to me, but honestly I was a little dissapointed at the direction the book took, I was expecting something else.

This book was on track to get a solid 4 stars from me, but the last twist near the end knocked it down a bit. I was so excited to read about

Thursday and Regina teaming up to help Hannah and take down a psychotic Seth

when in reality I had to read about

Regina abusing Thursday’s mental state to ruin her life.

 
I did like the back and forth of trying to figure out who is mentally sane and who isn’t, but by the end I was just left with a lot of questions and trying to figure out how/if certain things would actually work.

Ok so I definitely finished this in about 24 hours so that says something. What a RIDE. You think one thing's happening, and then a different thing happens. It's very dark and twisty. I don't want to say too much in fear of giving anything away, but this is a mindfuck of a book and I loved it. 

It lost .5 stars because the dialogue in parts was really stilted and awkward, and it can be a little unbelievable in parts. But I really liked this one.
