Where to start with this book...the plot of the book had potential but the author was literally just throwing a lot of things around to call it a "mystery". I was not a fan of Kenzie at all or any of the other cha acters honestly. The ending felt VERY rushed like it was just thrown together last minute. I'm not a fan of romance in mysteries/thrillers they are just not necessary fr. Plus EJ and Kenzie were cringe together
Also the writing in general was terrible... Like did this actually go through editors? I noticed several times where the author would say something and then 2 pages later would say THE SAME THING like we didn't just read that. It was so annoying. A lot of things didn't make sense either exampleswhy did Ben's mom get involved in the first place?? It was never explained just happened...the epilogue was absolutely unbelievable doesn't make sense that the old super would be the one to send the letters! Like just to piss off Ben? Huh makes zero sense
Also, I wish the author would have told uswhat condition Kenzie had considering it was a hereditary condition from her real father like why not say what it was? I will not be reading anything else from this author and definitely wouldn't recommend this unless you wanna rage read.
