Reviews

[Autumn Howard · Rating 3 out of 5]

I felt like this book was very slow for about 70% of it. It would speed up and slow back down, I also felt like it didn’t pick a plot line to it and probably could been a bit shorter than what it was.

3.5 ⭐️

I liked this book a lot. I felt as if somethings could've been more descriptive, and I found myself lost for a few chapters. It's a good book, just confusing at some parts.

[Stephanie Boisvert · Rating 1 out of 5]

Boring. Almost 100 pages in and nothing really happens. I needed more.

I stayed up late reading this last night, and I frequently found myself checking over my shoulder behind me!
