Okay so… I couldn’t actually put this down. Why only 3 stars then? It was a good, fun, quick read. It got my attention and held it. It just wasn’t… great. I like when twists surprise me. I could kind of guess mostly how this was going to go a little too early. And I didn’t like who it wound up being. I don’t know, it just left a sour taste in my mouth. I won’t say more in case I spoil anything.
