This book was alright, but it definitely wasn't my favourite of McManus' books. I felt like the pace was quite slow and everything seemed to happen in the last few chapters - which I normally wouldn't mind so much but the reveal in this book didn't feel very satisfying. It didn't really feel like there was much foreshadowing for the main twist in the book, which I normally love being able to look back on and see what I missed. There was some foreshadowing, but not for the biggest parts of the ending. I was also very uncomfortable with the relationship in this book.
