I recommend reading this series if you want to get back into reading.This book was so good and suspenseful that it made me want to keep reading. I couldn’t stop reading and the plot twists were amazing.

I can’t believe that there were 2 killers and that Elliot ward was the one who killed Sal. Sal didn’t deserve that and even though beca bell was “the second killer” i felt really bad for her. She technically wasn’t a killer.

This is my third time re-reading this book and looking back, I can't believe that the audiobook of this book was supposed to be a background noise for me while I complete my studies. Reading it again is so sad when you know what's about to happen next. Pip and Ravi are amazing characters and Holly Jackson is a mastermind considering how she connects the triology so well.

3.5

Quick YA read that really picked up at the end. Certain things seemed predictable but there were twists and turns that kept me on my toes. 

I still have questions about some of the characters that they hinted about being suspicious so I’m curious to see if that’s addressed in the other books.
