I loved the premise, had a really good time with the environment and how everything was set up, and thought the characters were so sweet. My biggest hang up is the BBEG because the rationale and build up didn’t feel fleshed out enough, and there wasn’t much feeling looking back on the story to feel all that impacted by the reveal. The ending was satisfyingly tense in spite of it though, but that’s entirely because I really liked the MC.

I devoured this book! The story was so tense and intriguing and there were so many twists and turns that kept me guessing the whole way through.
I honestly couldn’t put it down!
I also really loved the main character and her friends, and I loved seeing her relationship with Dominic grow throughout the book.
The big twist at the end was also super satisfying. I didn’t see it coming at all, but looking back there were plenty of clues littered throughout the story.
I would definitely highly recommend this book to anyone who loves small town, YA thrillers! It will definitely keep you hooked from the first page.
