I had never heard of this book or author but picked it up on a whim at a thrift store. I didn’t initially realize it was a trilogy, but I ended up enjoying it so much that I had to go and buy the next 2 books in the series! The book had a great opening that immediately had me hooked and sucked me into the mystery of “whodunnit” The main characters are all teenagers in a near futuristic New York City so it does have more of a YA vibe, but that’s in no way a criticism, I love YA! It’s also written so well that it doesn’t feel juvenile or silly and you just get interested in the characters on a human level. There’s a lot of mystery and intrigue and I loved how it was multi-perspective since that added another layer of interest to the storytelling. There were a lot of twists and turns and it truly kept me guessing up until the very last moment, which I loved!
