What a good way to get out of a reading slump! I read this entire book while on a flight to Chicago so I feel a little more accomplished than I would had I finished it on any other old day. It’s not a sad book but even the slightest mention of loss had me holding back tears in my seat. I miss Katarina and goddamnit I don’t think I’ll ever forget the feeling of losing her.  I know this review is lazy but I’m in a rush exiting the terminal.

One of the BEST books I've read in a while. 
The characters are so loveable. 
A thrilling story with some very unexpected twists. 
And: short chapters!!

I didn’t expect to like this book as much as I did. I thought it’d be predictable and not really my style. But despite my expectations, the book had me hooked within a couple of pages. I loved guessing along with the characters about what would happen and how they would solve each mystery. 
What I do have to say though, is that the book sometimes feels like a teen drama show. This is not a bad thing (one look at my old tumblr reveals how much I obsessed over teen drama shows, so yeah, definitely not a bad thing) but I still wanted to point it out. 
The only reason I didn’t give the book five stars is the fact that I don’t really vibe with love triangles. So far it wasn’t even all that bad, but love triangles just always leave a bad taste in my mouth. But oh well, I’ll see what happens in the next book. 
See, that’s another positive thing about the book, I didn’t wait a single second after finishing the book, before I ordered the sequel.
