This was so bad.

I usually love non-linear time lines but it did nothing to help the plot. There was too many tangents that felt like its purpose was to ego boost Ceci(?) and came off annoying. None of the characters were interesting. I don't even understand why this Ceci even has to be there aside from being an avenue for info dumping that didn't have any build up for me to care at all. And after all that she didn't really contribute much.

There was too much hand holding and dictating on what I'm suppose to think and who I'm suppose to consider as suspects. There's hardly any room at all for my imagination.

No clue who the main character is. No clue what the point of all that was. Epilogue suddenly slammed itself into my face and all I could say was "That was it?!".

No desire to read any more work from this author.
