5.0

No doubt a 5 ⭐️ book for me! I just can’t describe how much I loved this book. Kept me intrigued & wondering.. I was trying to figure out which girl was talking to dr Warren the psychiatrist the whole time but turned out to be miss fairchild.. she spun a story to the girls saying that she got pregnant when she was a teenager and her mother buried her daughter Amy under the house & her step father abused her but nooooooo it was her mothers child and she was jealous so she killed the baby Amy and her mother buried her under the house. But the poor things Norah, Alicia and Jessica had to go through in foster care was sad.

Thought I would try another olivie Blake book and this just wasn’t it. I was so focused on the intricate words and what they meant… and did this book actually have a plot? Was all over the place.

4.25 ⭐️ ! Really enjoyed this! The fact that Elliott set up an act to ‘kill’ Lana then turned around to Kate & Lana actually plotting against Elliott… but he ended up shooting her in the end. 👏🏻 phenomenal read!

Did enjoy it. Audio book is so much better.. Gave this a solid 4 stars. I felt like it fell flat in the middle then picked back up at the end. Caraval was much more enjoyable but will read the last book 😊 I guessed that Dante was legend haha so no shock there

Actually didn’t mind this! Took a bit to get into it & was so confused with all of the multiple POV’S but didn’t see the plot twist at the end… I did guess that Hugh was the one that died & killed all those women ‘as punishment’ because of how they were treating their children but Nora at the end????? She was the one to kill Hugh….. wow….
