I loved getting to read what was going through Thomas’s mind when meeting Audrey Rose. I only wish it included at least one other conversation between Thomas and Audrey Rose.

<spoilers ahead> the only reason I didn’t rate it higher is because I personally hate love triangles. They make me so irritated. I love Thomas and Audrey Rose, but I didn’t enjoy how she handled the situation in this book. Besides that, everything was awesome. The first one where I truly felt like I couldn’t pinpoint the culprit. Although the love story in this one took a dive for me, the rest was perfect.

Had a lot of plot twists that I was definitely not expecting. Contained a subtle sci-fi element that I hella like.
