3.5 stars but consider me hooked!! 

Although this took me a while to read I will say my investment certainly came back quickly after I paused from reading it! 

I love the concepts explored as I am someone interested in true crime, so I easily able to identify with Stevie. 

The plot also kept me quite hooked as I think the overall mystery is quite fascinating. Although I have my theories im still curious to see how it develops. 

David and Stevie have the potential to be something cute but David is a little suspicious as of right now but I am curious to see their dynamic develop. I also liked reading about Stevie’s friends Janelle and Nate as I quite enjoyed those dynamics too. 

I definitely want to now binge this whole series as I am now obsessed!
