Not really my thing to read but read due to everyone’s hype. Started skipping through certain scenes as it wasn’t for me, I did like the actual plot of what they did for their jobs and the ending of the book although I knew it finished on a cliff hanger, was predictable from Adeline’s pov but was surprising from Zades pov and in the end the person behind it all. I enjoyed the murder mystery behind Gigi so the actual story line itself was good. For obvious reasons that most people have not read the book, is the reason I only gave it 3.75. Overall a book I read quickly as I wanted to find out more.
