I wasn’t sure if I liked the book for the first third; I didn’t love the main character. She was frustratingly lazy and it really bothered me. However, as time went on I really did get wrapped up in the mystery and needed to know how it ended, and by the end I was tearing through the last few chapters! Definitely unpredictable ending which I liked, and I liked how each chapter is a different character’s perspective. If you like dark, disturbing mysteries with twists and turns, you’ll like this book.
