This book didn't pull me in till the middle part where things started to get messy. First hundred pages or so were so boring that I thought about DNFing this book. However, I held on and I'm glad I did it. It was satisfying how everything connected and came into an end.
I am not truly satisfied with the ending though it felt so abrupt and I really wanted to see Hannah and Will's confrontation. I wish all people who suffered at the hands of that horrible man could've come together and plan his m*rder rather than the planner doing it and Johnno being blamed for the death of Will. I also truly hated Charlie he is the worst right after a literal demon called Will and his buddies. The way he treats Anna and the way he and Jules act with each other I hated so much. I also hate Jules for the suffering she made Hannah and her sister go through.
Overall I liked it but the ending could've been better.
