I enjoyed this book a lot. As with her previous books, Kathryn is such a good writer, as soo as you start reading you’re sucked in straight away and the pacing of the book is excellent.

Set up is a murder mystery, told through the eyes of the main suspects of who committed the murder. I really liked this set up because it gave you background and motives to each character without giving it away.

The main reason I gave this book 4 instead of 5 stars is that I found the reveal to be slightly anticlimactic. It felt very fast paced and a big build up so it just felt a little bit lacking something to me.

That said, a very fun read, and definitely recommend if you like a good Whodunnit :-)

erin should have been queer.

meh…
I feel like the author wrote the whole book and got to the end and was like “oh yeah I need to make someone the killer” idk the whole reveal and ending didn’t sell it for me. and the writing was lowkey bad lol.

As-expected thriller with a heavy sci-fi leaning BUT

I

GOT

TRICKED

How did I not see this?????

This book was okay, it was slow for me and it never truly picked up. Charlotte’s character was…quirky to say the least. These are supposed to be teenagers right? Like close to 18 teenagers…Charlotte felt more like a child to me. The ending also wasn’t my favorite.

I really enjoyed this! It's fast paced and has interesting characters. I would recommend this! Special Thank You to Kathryn FoxField, SOURCEBOOKS Fire and NetGalley for allowing me to read a complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review.
