The Shadows by Alex North

4.0

Such a great quick read to help you out of a reading slump/get you in the spooky mood for the year! Loved the short chapters and seeing how all the characters connected by the end of the book. I also loved the dual timelines & seeing various characters' perspectives as well as how they each play a role in the murder mystery. However, I wasn't too invested in the characters to the point where my heart hurt whenever someone dies or we find out something intense. I was a bit shocked and my jaw dropped a few times, but it wasn't that overwhelming feeling you'd get for characters you're really rooting for. Nevertheless, I really enjoyed this reading experience, and I appreciate Alex North's writing.
