My heart was beating ferociously. My skin was itching with anticipation. My eyes at some point hurt because I just couldn’t stop swiping and reading and the rest of my body was aching from sitting too long in one position because I just couldn’t get out of the moment. I simply could not escape from the world that was created by Wellington. I could not leave. I had to keep reading, in some ways, just like Adina had to keep going with the “game”.
“Welcome to the finish.”
Reading this book, I had sudden chills. The Finish, as you read on, becomes more intense and tense and I bet you, you won’t be able to leave this book at all. You have to read on, you have to see what happens. You have to continue Adina’s story because in some way, the Finish is a game you are also participating in.
I read this book in one night. Never have I been so happy to have wasted sleep so I could finish this book. It was so good. It had me on my toes, it had my breath hitching, it had my heart skip a beat. The premise of the book is so interesting with so much tension, so much action and a sense of dread that death would be near.
You have to read this book if you enjoy mysteries / thrillers! The synopsis says this book is like Ace of Spades - it kind of is. I really enjoyed Ace of Spades and so I enjoyed this book as well!!
Thank you NetGalley and Simon and Schuster for offering me an ARC of this book!

I CRIED SO MUCH!! This short story is very emotional and it affects you in different ways possible. It explains the meaning of family and what it is like to lose some one all from Cady's POV.

And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie
3.0
It was not bad. The ending and beginning was hard for me to understand because it was a different plot and the characters were different. But as you read on it gets more interesting.

LOVE IT!!! I love how the day resets, and they all discover the real story of the death of Bee's boyfriend. I certainly did not expect it.
