This one was off to a great start the beginning really pulls you and peaks your interest in how life will go for Kat after losing her memory. For the first half I just knew her sister Jude had something to do with the car accident and she was trying to cover it up. The deeper we get into the novel even Kat questions Jude’s intentions and behavior. Kat develops a bit of paranoia whenever she’s around Jude so this is where things got good.
Now what blew it for me was everything involving King Bash and this group he was developing. I honestly didn’t get any of that and enjoyed the book way better when I thought Jude was on some shady ish 😂 it was giving this good twin evil twin vibe. Once the secrets begin to unravel so does the flow of the book.
The chapters were short which worked well. But the timelines jump back and forth so much some parts were confusing. The author did great building up the suspense and tension though. The reader never really knows if Jude is being truthful with Kat so you’re left guessing until the last few chapters.
Overall, this was an interesting read it just didn’t hit the mark like I wanted. The book cover was creepy which made me want to read it. The plot took some unexpected turns so I think some readers might like the book. Special thanks to the author & @henryholtbooks for my gifted copy‼️
