As I was reading this book I was trying to guess what was going to happen but I could not figure it out. When I first picked up this book I figured I would know what was going to happen but I was so wrong. I liked the fact that it kept me guessing the whole way.

No rating - 1st time tried audiobook and found the narrator for some parts annoying. 2nd time tried reading physical copy from library and just did not care about the characters or the story. Looked up spoilers online and DNF’d at page 100
I was pretty sure this was going to be 5 stars but I really disliked the ending.
