I was counting this book out 80% through because I thought I knew the identity of the murderer. I was very wrong because the twist then second twist at the end is crazy.

A little bit long for what the story was but it kept moving. I wish there was more at the end for a clean resolution.

I don’t read much YA or fantasy but the story was cute. A bit long and I wish there was more about Ruby’s future.

This book was so cute and well paced! I don’t read romance often but I was engaged. It gets a little spicy but very briefly.

It took months to finish this. Each book in the series has gotten worse but I wanted to know who the murderer was. I’m done with this series.
