The book was definitely not what I was expecting, and not in a good way. I enjoyed some parts of the story, but overwhelmingly I was confused and annoyed by how some of the characters behaved. I was more interested in the younger siblings than the main characters storyline and I feel like there could have been so much more to it if the characters were a bit more developed. The ending was so fast and confusing that I couldn't get my head around what was going on, and it seemed so unbelievable.

Got through the book in less than a day!! it was incredible. there was so many plot twists, some expected and some not. Definitely not what I thought was going to happen in the end but I still loved every second of it, I was hooked from the get go. Yet another great book from one of my fav authors :)

Probably my favourite book I've read this year !!
Bit of a slow start but it's worth it because by about halfway through I couldn't put it down !! Loved the characters but the ending... omg. I cannot wait to start the next book.
