4.75 in terms of plot and whatnot but a full 5 for how much of a good time I had. This is some good kush. Reminds me of being a teenager again.

This is definitely overhyped on social media, especially TikTok. This gave me strong Knives out vibes, but luckily it had its own take on it. I struggled to get into this book. Normally with a mystery book I am hooked straight away but this just didn't; I would say that it was probably down to the pacing as I found it to be fairly slow throughout. I think the issue was there was no urgency to the plot which is what normally spurs a Mystery/Thriller forwards. There were also parts which were very predictable especially the ending. On the other hand I did like the characters especially Avery, and the atmosphere of the book was well set. 
 I'm definitely going to continue with the series as I want to see where it goes next.
