3.5 out of 5 stars.
Well...the story was kind of predictable but entertaining enough.
The plot twist was great and that was, maybe, the only thing i didn't predict entirely.
I give this novel a 3.5 out of 5 stars just because it gave me such joy wile reading it.
And someday i will read the second one. We will see...
