❝ With every second, her hope slipped a bit further,
　　until she was scrabbling at the edge of hope, trying
　　　to gain a hold. And then she felt herself lose contact. ❞

4.75/5 :)

SO MANY THINGS HAPPENED IN THE LAST FEW PAGES!! This is even a bigger cliffhanger than The Inheritance Games !! 2 murders left unsolved… you have got to be kidding me… need to read the second book ASAP!

This book was really good. The plot was super intriguing and most of the characters were really good. The only thing I didn’t like is Stevie’s and David’s relationship, I just didn’t see the chemistry between them. Overall it was quite good so I gave it a 4.5 star

Truly Devious. There's a lot I have to say about this book, firstly, when I bought it (from my Kindle) I started reading straight away, got to around 60%. Then- for context I'm only 13- it got to the certain detailed paragraph which I can't say much more about for spoiler reasons and stopped reading; got into other books and slightly forgot about it, but I knew I was going to finish it at some point. So, I picked up my kindle and finished this book within 2 days. Delayed again because of school. ...more

Stopped reading at 150 pages. I wanted to like it so bad, but it just put me in a reading slump. Absolutely not. Incredibly slow with slightly aggravating characters.
