adventurous
mysterious
tense
medium-paced

4.5
the way I screamed at the ending 🤯 I did not see that coming & I’m extremely mad at myself
the beginning was slow as heck, picking up a few weeks after the events of TRULY DEVIOUS with so many mysteries opened and nothing solved 🥴 but stevie is on the case and refuses to let anything go (definitely a future model of pippa with all of the AGGGTM vibes)
but it was truly the last 30% of the book that had my mouth falling open!! the reveals, the twists, the final realization that nothing is as it seems - it was all so perfectly written 😮💨
stevie is such a cutie pie with an eye for murder, and honestly, she needs to work on her trusting and communication skills (but also I see the hesitation) 🫠 and david? don’t even get me started on that train wreck of a human being … he clearly doesn’t even want to help himself which is the most frustrating part…
I cannot wait to binge the last two of the series!!!
