Wow! This was a really good book! It is the most fast paced books I have ever read, the author Jennifer Lynn Barnes does not waste words and cuts right to the chase. I also loved the short chapters (around 3 pages long) as they allowed me to read how much i wanted to read. It was gripping. And the idea of the book - amazing. The whole time I was dying to know the twist.

I did guess that the boys’ middle names’ were places, but that is the only thing i guessed

. It was very family friendly. I really loved and appreciated how the ‘clues’ in this book were not far fetched, it always made sense that the participants would discover and interpret them.

The ending was interesting, at first I was like okay that’s cool, whatever. Then the last page before the epilogue had me shook. That is a good twist. I wish it could have ended with an in-depth letter from Mr Hawthorne but there is another book so i’ll just have to read that! I’m still a bit intrigued / confused by the Drake thing so the next book will hopefully clarify a bit more

. Very easy to read and very clever. Gave me ‘Rebecca’ by Daphne Du Maurier vibes

I was very much entertained and I know I am looking forward to reading the next book, but I really loathed the characters, and I get it, they weren't supposed to be loveable, but I also felt that there was not a lot of growth nor a lot of differences between the characters.
