This Ravenous Fate by Hayley Dennings

3.0

---

There’s definitely some good stuff going on here and I think it’s a solid enough debut. The mystery just gets kind of muddled towards the end in a way that feels a bit confused. I was also expecting more clue hunting with the girls and there was some for a bit but it felt like it got dropped for other things. I’m also confused by some of the antagonists motivations. I thought that money was the obvious answer but I’m unsure if the author intended for that to be their motivation. This confusion about motive connects back to the clunky way the mystery panned out. I also felt like we could have had a much stronger cliffhanger for the second book instead it felt like there was too much book post climax.
