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.
