Kya did it. It was Kya. Of course it was her. I can’t believe I didn’t see it before. That ending was so bittersweet…she got her peace, and Tate, too, I suppose…but I wish they’d had children. The image of Tate and Kya and their children playing in the marsh with Jodie’s children…I love that. I wish they’d had children. I loved this book. But Kya. Of course she did it. Who else could it have been?

I’m so confused. I think someone framed Tate, because that red hat sure is his. Oh wait. Shit. Jodie and Chase look similar. Wait. Is Chase not Chase? Was it Jodie. Shit shit shit. It can’t be. But Kyra wasn’t calling him…I guess we will see. I genuinely can’t figure this one out, not matter how hard I think. Well. I’m going to finish it. I guess we’re about to find out. Hang on, folks. This is it.

This mystery is so confusing. It just keeps getting more and more intense. I don’t believe Kya did it now. I don’t believe Jodie did it. It maybe could have been suicide? I think Chase framed Kya and committed suicide. Maybe. Idek. But suicide makes no sense….ARGH TOO CONFUSING.

Damn. This murder mystery is hard. Either Kyra did it, or she was framed, or she knew that someone close to her was going to kill Chase Andrews (Jodie or Jumpin’ or someone) and she planted all the evidence on her so she would take the fall. I have no idea. I love it though.

Fuck Chase Andrews. Whoever killed him is my hero. He deserved to die.

So I started this book a couple days ago but haven’t been writing my reviews or reading as much as I was in the holidays as I’m going back to school. This is technically two reads in one, but ehhh. It’s fine. Anyway, I’m really enjoying the book, and I’ve got up to the past where Tate offers to teach Kya to read. I love their chemistry together, but I can’t help but feel there’s more to their story.
