I really enjoyed this book. From the very beginning it grasped my attention and I'm not the fondest of mysteries! I don't like reading series but this first book summed up perfectly in the end and did not leave my unsatisfied. I liked it but also felt that at some points I was not eager to read it so that's why I gave it four stars. Overall, it was great though!
