dark emotional mysterious medium-paced

• Strong character development? It's complicated

4.5

I loved this book. It started out kind of slow and typical mystery. But that twist was so surprising. I couldn’t see it coming. Very well done. There are some parts where it slowed down and felt lost. Along with some places with out of character moments.
