I ended up liking this book a lot more than I expected. Because it was written differently than the first 2, it was hard to get hooked into at the start. About 1/3 of the way through, my interest picked up and by about 1/2 I couldn't put it down until I figured out what the heck was going on!

This whole series is very dramatic in a YA way but the puzzles are a lot of fun and the mystery keeps you invested.  If you grew up watching (and loving) shows like One Tree Hill or Pretty Little Liars, you will probably like reading this series. AKA - ridiculous drama put on teens/young adults.

This book actually made me gasp out-loud at the end - I honestly can’t remember the last time a book made me do that! I loved the pacing between the two points of view as well. It seemed like just as I was on the edge of my seat with one pov, it switched and I was drawn back in to the other one!
