4.0

Sometimes repetitive (riddles). Main character without flaws in my opinion. Characters in general are a little flat. Forced love triangle. Not a lot spice or sparks (it’s ya). 
Oren and Alisa are kinda sus. 
Want to read the whole series as so much is left unsolved and there is mysterious stuff going on. The question is: who can you trust?

4.0

A fast-paced mystery with an intriguing premise, secret passages and scavenger-hunt-style puzzles, and a whole lot of pheromones and angst. The relationship drama is a little too messy and the puzzles a little too elementary and spelled out for my tastes, but you better believe I'm reading on!
