!!Spoilers ahead!!
I found this book entertaining but was ultimately disappointed by the easy to guess murderer that was basically just a repackaged version of the twist in AGGGTM. Also felt very let down by Mr Finney’s motive, none of it felt like it was a good enough reason to murder someone.
Also the characters did feel very juvenile, which was exasperated by the fact that Jet apparently knows no one other than family or childhood friends.
Oh and why is everyone in this book the actual devil. Luke is the worst person on the planet, closely followed by Sofia and his mum. Also the dad is framed as being the kind one, but when you get down to it, he’s really not.
Overall I enjoyed the book but was let down by the “big reveal” and the characters being immature and irredeemable.
