3.5
dark mysterious tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Complicated

I picked up this book with a heart full of curiosity and I won't lie, in many ways, it delivered its purpose for me. The premise is absolutely intriguing,  the book getting interesting around %50-60 The author’s writing style drawed me into the story from page one. I found myself gripping my thigh at certain scenes, the certain tension Monika Kim created. 

I felt the feeling in my mouth, almost could taste it. It was beautifully written.

But, the ending did not sit with me. It felt uncompleted, wrong. I expected something different. It had really a potential.

 This book is the kind of book that lingers in your mind, though with a gentle tug of
“Could have been even better.”
