This was fun. I just really like how she writes friendships and relationships. The mystery was good and kept me entertained. I didn’t really see anything coming but I didn’t really try to figure it out. honestly my favorite part was the romantic relationship but what can I say I’m a sucker for romance.

The mystery and intertwining stories of the book were really well done, and it was an engaging read. However,

the way the story ended, with one of the main villains of the story triggering one of the main characters to want to go “scorched earth”

really annoyed me, and honestly took away from the whole story. It could have been ended without that as part of book one, and I would have been just as excited to read a potential book 2 if it ever was written.

I just found this book a little lack luster. I enjoyed some of the twists and turns but this book just wasn’t for me!
