"A very well written and unexpected read! I was genuinely surprised by this book and it’s characters. Amazing storytelling, and mysterious suspects. You could tell the characters genuinely cared for one another and finding Justice above all, despite the danger. This is definitely a book for fans of A Good Girls Guide to Murder. "
"First off, I definitely thought this book was going to be easily predictable but it really wasn't. The setting was very well described at times and gave me chills at the suspicion. The only problem was that it was a tad bit cliche but I am willing to look past that. I was always captivated and never got bored when reading!! Great book 9/10"

"O MY WOW! Top 3 book I have ever read! From start to finish the writing places you in the world of Luke and Oscar making you feel apart of these kids lives. Not once did I have to power through a dull moment. Every second of the day I thought about this book. Extremely dark and twisted. The murder twist for who actually did it, made me second guess life lol. Couldn’t have been better, couldn’t have played out better, couldn’t have picked better anything, perfection inside and out. Highly recommend!"
"It was fine. Honestly, i thought all of the characters were sort of annoying. Luke’s only trait was the kidnapping and I feel like half the book was just them talking about how great he was. Pippa, I didn’t really like in the beginning but the character build was good. I thought Oscar was fine, he wasn’t my favorite but I didn’t think his character was the worst. Kelsey, I mean come on. She was literally the worst character. I didn’t like how Luke saved Pippa, I mean I get it but the trope wasn’t the greatest and Pippa was supposed to be a strong and independent yk that was her whole thing but her saying like “You’re my hero 🥺” and crap was just so meh. I almost got a sort of Good Girls Guide to Murder feel with them though, in some parts. But if that was the goal then it just wasn’t executed correctly. However, I did not expect the plot twist whatsoever. That was the part I did really enjoy. It wasn’t a terrible read but I definitely will not read it again. "
"I’m not big on murder mystery type of books but I enjoyed this one!"
