I think 5 stars...

That was.. shocking.
Firstly, i read the book in a day, and i havent done that in a while.
Second, this book was just so weird but it made sense but it was still so weird.
Thirdly, i loved the blossoming romance, and then by the very end it got so dark and strange, but was still slightly cute.
And then the ending. I cant tell if i was expecting it. No, actually i wasn't.
There were a lot of plot twists i either already guessed or werent surprised by.
But this last last plot twist. Wow. That was just creepy af to say the least.
Honestly, wow this was in a way very different from what ive read before.
And for the first time or firstish, a book set in mostly a school setting was executed really well, i thoroughly enjoyed it.
I would definitely recommend this book. But it is a bit dark and like a tad bit strange...
Anyways i am utterly shook.
I want to start the next book but at the same time i dont.. in a bit of a book depression.

This book had potential. It could have been creepy and awesome. I loved the beginning and wanted to solve the mystery but it went so downhill so fast. BOO.

I think this is the first book that I've read and I truly do not know how to rate. I didn't dislike it, but I'm not so sure I actually liked it. I am at least willing to read the second book, so hopefully I form an opinion after finishing that one.

This book wanted to be something, but it definitely wasn't. I think that the main idea, the core of the book would have had some potential, but the bad writing blew it.

First bad book of the book club I'm in, so cheers to that

A generous 3 stars. A very typical YA read. Nothing out of the ordinary. I will probably get to the next in the series, at some point.
