This is my first Kyle Perry book and I’m definitely keen to see what else he has on offer. I loved the writing of this book and most of the characters, especially Mackenzie, however Shelby was a frustrating character to read. Her actions and decisions often didn’t make sense to me and while I empathised with her at points, most of the time I just found her annoying. As others have mentioned there are also a lot of characters and plots and while they do mostly end up weaving together really well there are a couple of loose threads. There are so many plot twists which can be good but at times feels like whiplash. It did keep me engaged though and I stayed up way too late reading it. 

The first 2/3s were unputdownable, the last third was where my head started to spin a bit too much and it got frustrating.
