I rarely give books a five star rating but this one deserved it 100%. It started off strong, got more tense and the story telling was just exquisite. I do not take book recommendations form social media, as I have often been burned with repetitive and boring books, that are worse than the amateur  fanfictions of my 2012 wattpad days. This book deserves its hype as a standalone story. I finished it in less than a day!
