Uhh I think the story was ok, it took forever to really get rolling and on top of that there’s 3 POV’s happening so that confused me or it just took me longer to grasp who was who and what time line we were in. There were entertaining moments and there were just blah moments. I do enjoy the mysterious moments of these kinds of stories so that kept me wondering and I kind of thought the story was going to go one way but then that never happened. And I think the ending was a little flat..or it left me with questions but I don’t care enough to continue with book 2 🤷🏽♀️
