The first 3/4 of this book was slow. The plot twists were nicely done. There are 3 major plot twists: the first was a good twist, the second was kind of meh, but the third....I literally gasped out loud. I'm good at figuring stuff out early in books but this third twist threw me and that is the main reason I rated the book as high as I did. I rate books based on how entertained I was and the fact that an author could make me gasp took it from a 3 star to a 4 star. But I wouldn't recommend it just for that twist. Overall, it was about a 3.
