I loved this book! The alternating timeline kept me on my toes and made it very mysterious. The characters are both complex and morally grey but also very different from one another which I love, because they both aren’t great people but they both have different motives, morals, and thought processes. I liked that we get to see from every character’s perspective. I loved that the prose was simple but captivating, and the dialogue was fantastic. So many good lines in the book. This was highly entertaining and very fun to read, I would definitely recommend it to anyone! HOWEVER: I was v disappointed by the ending of the second book in the series, so be warned that this series is very good and fun to read but does not have a satisfying conclusion. If I could go back I would still read it bc it was enjoyable, but some ppl would be more upset abt the ending that me, so do what you will with this information.
