I didn't hate it but I didn't love it. If someone is into Greek mythology I think they would really like this one. A mystery/thriller but mainly just a case of the whodunnit. There was a twist at the end but I personally feel like I can't enjoy a book until I get to the end to find out what happens & then decide if I like it - which is why thrillers are so tricky.
Overall the women felt one-dimensional and all the men in this book were creepy. Mariana somehow was the most "normal" person in this. Lots of daddy issues in this one.

It was too easy as a reader to look at the letters of confession and know who could not have written them. However the plot twist at the end did nothing feel entirely earned. It came out of left field without much to substantiate it and honestly made a lot of the emotion I invested in some of the characters feel a bit wasted?
Overall, the side characters who could have been compelling fell flat. We didn’t see enough of Fosca and the Maidens (in my opinion) and the Maidens we did see were hard to get a feel for.
Overall, I want to love this book. And it’s fun enough — until the very end with the very last reveal. That’s where it lost me. Solid read but fell a hit short for me.
