5.0

Seriously a wild ride.  It was a nicely written twisted thriller that left me saying: “just one more chapter.”  The first part is a little slow to start, giving time to learn about the characters and a little about Niveus.  However, part two and three are where things get a bit more into the twists.  I loved all the Gossip Girls and Pretty Little Liars vibes that it had.  The ending and epilogue were good as well, seeing Chiamaka and Devon have a happy ending even after everything that happened.  Really good and I’m kinda glad I went into it knowing nothing about it, it made it all the more better.
