I read this so quickly lmao. idk but there were too many plotlines being added but not a very good execution/conclusion to all of it. it had potential and I wanted to know more but the way it was executed wasn't very good for me idk. the pacing was so slow too. the stuff that happened to the missing girls and the backstories of the characters were SO repeatedly mentioned imo. like, I do not need a reminder of malcolm being in declan's shadow, ellery's thoughts abt her mother and sarah, and recounts/theories abt what happened to lacey every two sentences. but, I did kinda like the mysteries, I just wish they had been better solved and discussed. the last sentence added a lot of surprise(?) gasps maybe, and thoughts. that was a good and chilling closer for the book.

This is the second book by this author that i’ve read and i throughly enjoyed every minute of reading it. The plot twists, the characters, everything about it was interesting and fun. Having the book set during fall in New England was also a plus for me. YA thrillers are fun, fast paced, and not gory which is why i enjoy them so much. I highly recommend taking the time to read some of this authors work.

This like the 'One of Us is Lying' series was an easy read. The flow was smooth and the plot twists were unpredictable. But McManus could have increased the tenseness a little more in the last act because I didn't find it all that satisfying. Although a little flimsy, the conclusion wasn't too horrible. The book's final sentence had such a shockingly unexpected conclusion. At first, it wasn't very apparent, but once I got it, it was good enough to state that Karen McManus is a plot-twist genius.
