A review by wordsofapaige
The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton

5.0

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I do not have to words to describe how amazing this book is. It got to the point where I was dreaming in the style of the book! The whole idea that Aiden has only a set number of guests whose bodies he will jump into to solve the murder to Evelyn Hardcastle fascinated me, and the way it was executed was wonderful. I loved the reasoning behind why Aiden has to do this, there was such confidence to the reasoning behind this story that I bought into everything and loved every second.

There are a whole lot of characters in this book, and they're not always being entirely truthful about who they might be, or what they're doing. I found though that I could easily keep up with who was who and when a twist was revealed it filled easily into my understanding of the book. There are still a few moments that I have questions about but I really appreciate that not everything is tied up by the end of the book, and it really is only a couple of moments that are left unresolved.

I loved how the story jumped around in time, and that it wasn't as simple as one day in one body then restart the day in another body. It made what could have been an almost dull, linear storyline into something that was a lot more complicated and interesting. It kept me on my toes the entire time!

This is a really wonderful book and I really, really suggest that you pick it up!
