Very twisted! There are lots of shifts in plot and themes that run through the whole book as we slowly get to know the main protagonists and watch their friendship develop in the same way real world relationships develop but with tragedy and crime weaving the realationships together.

1.0

By far the worst book in the series such a shame as I have loved the others and eagerly awaited the release of this book. 

I think the authors choice of structure really dull and confusing and repetitive. 

It’s hard to put together a timeline in this novel making the plot harder to follow.
