It has been a minute since I was so invested in a YA thriller, usually adult thrillers keep me more invested. But this one is fabulous. Vincent has created a strong narrator with Beck, and I was unable to stop reading once it really got deeper into the events of the story.
This is about how she finds a baby in a bag in the gym, but it is dead. Now the police are trying to find who the baby was and what happened. Beck has all of her own thoughts and ideas about what could have happened, but she knows the baby is not hers and wishes people would stop assuming it was. Especially when the death threats and horrible treatment of strangers online culminate when an anonymous Twitter account starts sharing information about the baby and the events.
This book can be dark at times, which I think is great. I do not want to say dark for YA because that sounds very dismissive of the lives teens live now. We cannot know all of the experiences each teen is facing, and this book shows how abstract yet intense some things that happen in high school can be.
Beck is also dealing with the death of her dad from an opioid overdose, breaking up with her boyfriend, being distanced from her best friend, her mom is a a cop on this baby case, and just having relationships with her siblings. This book has many layers and they connect the story, showing how each event has affected Beck and how she has learned to deal with all of the backlash from people thinking the baby is hers. It is about how social media is all over and haunts people in different ways as well. The social media is large aspect of the book.
This story is quality because the writing is phenomenal, the narrator is real and believable, and the discovery of who the baby belongs to make me go whoa, I did not expect this. This is a great thriller that made me become an instant fan of the author, eager already for her next book.

But I was wrong, and I was glad to be proved wrong.
This book is dark, but it was very fun to read. I love how I got to follow the journey of Emilia and see how she was dealing with what life gave her. I cannot imagine the pain of losing your twin and finding out the dark secrets her and your own family held. The whole time I was like wow, what is going to happen next and this book kept me gripped pretty much til the end.
This book starts out slow, but I swear it gets so much better. I was glad I waited it out because I was hooked when she was into findiing out why the witches were dying and her chemistry with Wrath. I was intrigued by all of the 7 devil princes, and it would be fun to have a whole cool series about them. Hey, I can dream.
Overall, this is a good series. I never wanted to stop reading, and I liked how much the book picked up towards the end. I am also looking forward to the next book after the ending.

I think this book was okay. The story was pretty well done, but it wasn’t mind blowing. I think the ending was what ruined it for me, leaving me wondering if there will be more. It was a good start, but I think it could have been so much better. Perhaps it’s because I’m not a sci-fi fan, but this book just seemed like it was meant to do more but all of the things didn’t pan out the right way. Just little bit and pieces of the story that were just brushed aside and never answered fully. I didn’t like the characters a lot either.

I was drawn in from the first page and could not put it down. It was very well done, and I was thankful to have the chance to read the book.
This book hit home as I had close family members fighting in action. They have also had to deal with their problems like Nathan. Of course this book was different, but I do plan to get a copy for my family members who fought because they said this sounds like a book they would like.
I really enjoyed this book and all of the characters. It is a fast book with lots happening. It did make me hug my kiddo extra.

This book is funny and cute. It’s perfect for the elementary age who want a book about mysteries that aren’t scary but still fun to solve. Mina is on the case to help her best friend Holly and all of the other pets!
This was a quick read, I had fun with it.

I thought it was going to be a story which hooked me, but I ended up getting a little spacey during the end. It was an okay story, but when all of the reveals came at the end, I did not care as much as I thought.
The narration is well done. The two narrators are telling the story in a way which makes the reader wonder what will happen and what the connections are. This is a plus for the story. However, it was hard to connect to some of the story so I was bored towards the end of the book.
What I know about this book... there are two sisters... a missing girl... a son who does not quite fit in. There is also a grandma. They are all trying to find out what happened to this missing girl and who may have any type of connections to the child.
There are all side plots and such I had a difficult time to keep up with what was going on. I think this book would work well for those who want a lighter thriller that is easy to follow.
This book was just not right for me. Still, I would try more from this author and listen to other books done by these narrators.
