I don’t know if it was just my mood reading this book but I wasn’t overly invested sadly. I think it was a fine book and I didn’t hate it but it wasn’t keeping me hooked and turning the pages. I didn’t really feel a connection to the characters in this book. I will say that I did keep going tho and wasn’t bored when I did make myself read lol and I had no idea who the killer was gonna be. Maybe it’s just because I didn’t already feel connected to the book but the murderers and their motives didn’t really feel that believable. Like you’re telling me this father killed an innocent kid because Andie bumped her head on his desk?? Hmmmm. And to kill your own sibling that easily?? What Andie did was horrible but I don’t believe she would kill that easily. Truly can’t decide if I want to keep going in this series or not AHHH.
