Slow start but redeems itself at the end. Characters were…odd and a bit flat but overall I found that I liked the book.

I was absorbed by the story and characters for most of the book. The ending was unsatisfying and seemed underdeveloped.

It was a good story I felt the middle lagged just a little and some of the dialogue felt a little stilted somehow but it’s the first in the series idk if it’s the authors first but it wasn’t enough to pose an issue reading. Had me gripped for the ending - I don’t usually put much energy into trying to solve mysteries when I read them I wanna be along for the ride,  so overall good read. Great atmosphere too I may check out the next one in the series

This book was SO good! It kept me guessing right up until the last chapter. Every time I thought I had figured it out, something happened to make me think again.
