I am FLABBERGASTED. 

What a book. WHAT A BOOK!!!!

I had so many emotions throughout this narrative. It was constantly growing and changing the story, it was thrilling to get the pieces and put it together and when I thought I knew what was going on…BAM a plot twist that made me gasp and had my mouth open. I lost the count of how many plot twists but SO WELL DONE.

In the very end, I thought anything else was going to surprise me and the story would be just wrapping up and tightening the end. How could I be so naive? I was so SHOCKED that I began to crackle and then, the second-last chapter got me goosebumps and watering eyes and in the end, I finished this book with a huge smile.

This is going to be shelved into one of my favourite books of the genre. I just wish I could forget about it to be able to have the same thrill. I highly recommend it!
