This was an interesting mystery. There’s a lot of twists and turns. A few times I was frustrated with the storyline but it was definitely addicting. I think it’s an exciting read though I was not a huge fan of the ending and how it wrapped up but I still think it’s worth a read.

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.
