Ahhh this was such an interesting book! So suspenseful and captivating. The story is so mysterious and heart-wrenching, and the characters are fascinating. I really didn’t know if I was going to like this one since it’s out of my comfort zone— but it was amazing! The only “complaint” I have is that sometimes details were over explained, and I think the book could’ve been 20 pages less just by taking out over-descriptiveness.

Though I enjoyed the last part of the book, overall it was too far-fetched and predictable. I’ve seen in many reviews that readers “figured it out” less than halfway through the book and the same happened for me, after that it was mainly the curiosity of HOW that kept me going. The writing was great and the author knows how to write compelling characters, the plot just wasn’t there.
