This was a cool concept, but the execution was very lacking. The main character was rather dull. I understand that he had no memory of who he was and was just trying to fight against the bodies he was in, but I think if we saw him lose that fight more, it'd be more interesting. Several of the big secrets just weren't really that juicy, and the writing made the whole thing felt like it kind of droned on. I really enjoyed the small insight into who Lord Ravencourt's secret passions, and I had hoped the author would let us see that sort of thing with each of the hosts, but nope. Maybe it was just included with Ravencourt because the author started feeling guilty about the massive amounts of fatphobia that he was stacking against that character which damn near almost made me stop reading all on its own. Also, the Aiden seemed equally bothered to be sharing a brain with Derby because he seems to have ADHD than because he's a rapist, which is absolutely ridiculous. I really thought I was going to love this book, and I am sorely disappointed.

this was W I L D. it was like a mystery within a mystery, it truly kept me on my toes and i was so invested in trying to figure out the truth. i definitely didnt expect it. the first half i kinda figured but then that curveball about the second murderer??? yeah i did NOT see that one coming.
mysterious
I feel like I am going to be thinking about this book for many days to come haha. Incredibly creative and intricate plot.
4 1/2 stars, this book rocks. It’s such an engaging and unique mystery and it’s told with such meticulous detail that I’m tempted to start it all over again just to see how it all adds up.
Super super good. It can be a little slow at the start, but the writing was engaging enough to keep me interested all the way through.

It reminds me a lot of the Black Mirror episode, White Bear. I had some traumatic things happen, so my mind wasn't all the way into reading. I mixed people up, but overall enjoyed it.

Such a clever and unique idea, but the execution felt a little messy and could’ve done with refining. Glad to have read it.
