This book wasn’t bad, but I’m not dying to keep reading the rest of the series. But I already own the whole series, so we’ll see!

LOVED this book and I wish I read it sooner! Reminded me of Karin Slaughter’s writing style and instantly obsessed. The pace, build up, mystery, twists- all fantastic and had me on the edge of my seat. Diving into book #2 immediately!

This was disappointing - boring and repetitive until the end at which point it kind of devolves into an action movie with a reveal that I didn't predict only because I thought that it would be too obvious. The cliffhanger was kind of interesting though.
