This book had me hooked from the very beginning! I listened to the audiobook while I was on a long drive and it definitely helped keep me awake. Even though I had my suspicions of the guilty party early on, I had no proof or evidence and I was still very surprised when it was revealed. This was a very fun and captivating read! My biggest complaint is that ending. WHAT THE HECK. It didn’t even feel like a cliffhanger. It was more like the author stepped away from their laptop before it was finished and someone came along and submitted it without checking with the writer first. I was so mad at the ending. But the rest was really enjoyable and I’m just glad we still got our answers to the mystery!
