Well, I guess I'm getting better at figuring out what books I like. I even debated giving this four stars but I was like "but why? Why not five?" and literally couldn't think of anything. I loved this book so much and did not anticipate getting attached to the Revenant - but I will say the foreshadowing for the plot twist - very well done. I'm always torn between "do I want to not have any inkling then make the connections after" and "OMG I KNEW IT" and I think I like both equally. I do find it amusing that I was reading this at the same time as listening to Ninth House, there were some interesting similarities, although this was way more tame - due to being YA compared to Adult. Anyway, if you like any of this author's books PLEASE read this.

I really wish they let you do half stars on this because this book is really a 3.5 for me. I enjoyed the story, though it felt a bit slow at times. But I would give this book another read.
