I really enjoyed the characters in this book and the mystery behind trying to figure out who was causing the murders. I loved how the relationship between Eojin and Hyeon. It was very cute and developed nicely. One thing however is the fact that
he disappeared for several months and then comes back at the end? After reading CaW I noticed the same thing happened to the ML and I didn’t like how the same thing happened here but that doesn’t take away from the story I suppose.


Overall I enjoyed the book and there were so many complex characters so it really did develop just like a drama. This is the second book I’ve enjoyed by June Hur. I can’t wait to see what else she comes up with in the future.
