This book was an unexpected gem. I saw all of the positive reviews and authors praising it, but I didn’t realize how interesting the plot actually was until I started reading. I thought this was going to be a bad young adult attempt at a Saw franchise knockoff, but I couldn’t have been more wrong. The characters are incredible and the whole book was a thrilling, nail-biting rollercoaster. I don’t want to give anything away because I want other readers to have the same first experience I did, full of pleasant confusion and surprise. Plus the author even included a request at the end of the book, which is not to spoil anything for other readers, which I believe is a brilliant idea and I will completely honor his wishes. Anyway, JUST READ THE BOOK!
