You didn’t see what Jace was like. He was fucked up.” Margot frowned. “Fucked up how?” “Like, he got busted in seventh grade for starting a fire in one of the bathroom trash cans. I don’t think he was trying to burn down the school or anything, but it got out of control and we all had to evacuate. He got into a lot of trouble for it.” “What?” “Yeah. And in ninth grade, he beat up Trey Wagner so bad the guy had to go to the hospital.”
This plus the killing that bird thing is all just way too obvious "precursor to being a killer" shit everyone whose ever watched any crime show already knows, the lack of subtly in this book is pissing me off. Like theres nothing left for the reader to interpret, either jace is January's killer or he's a painfully obvious red herring.
