When I first started reading the prologue and first chapter had me immediately hooked and I had super high expectations. After this though the book took far too long to get into the actual suspense and action and I just felt as if I was reading a book about a normal bachelorette with some slightly strange people. Once the action started it was well done I just wish there would’ve been more time spent describing it he actual incidents. I did enjoy the jumps in time I think this helped build the suspense very well. Overall enjoyable just had higher expectations in terms of the thrilling aspects.
