 I recommend this book if you like: 
-YA mystery 
-page turner 
-plot twists 

 Wow, this book blew my mind! I had read mixed reviews, so I was apprehensive. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole book and the best part was near the end when the plot becomes clear. I had made my own theories throughout the book but I did not see that ending coming. 

Although this is a YA book, it has deep and meaningful themes (wealth, privilege, family feuds, crimes). There are a lot of characters at first but this wasn’t an issue for long. I loved the map of Sinclair Island at the start of the book. 

The story about Cadence, her two cousins and Gat will be one I won’t forget in a hurry.
