Overall I liked this book because the plot was interesting and not basic. There were many plot twists and the main ones near the end were intended to be unexpected but I predicted them which was a bit annoying. I didnt really like writing style and the ending was just ridiculous considering there’s no sequel. I recommend for new readers of crime. Or just 7 year olds.

Immature writing and characters. Odd ending cut off.

This ending is so infuriating. Worse than the end of HIMYM.

Quick read, voice actress was good. The set up was great and the influncer cast was believable. I was so invested until the actual murders started happening and then it felt like every bad "hiding from a murderer" movie you ever saw as a teenager. And after the last 10 minutes and it ending I literally said "WHAT, ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!"
