I LOVED it! I ate it up and it does remind me so mich of Criminal Minds!! I loved the plot and I did not expect that person to be the killer like I was so shocked because I actually liked her! And I don't know who I want Cassie to end up with... I can't decide but this book was so addictive omg literally couldn't stop!

Loved this book! Super easy read, great pacing, loved the characters. Bought book 2 & 3 before I even finished the first book so I wouldn't have a gap between.

I was on the edge of my seat until the end. Though the reveals weren’t entirely shocking, most were predictable

I read this book in half a day totally worth the read! It still has me thinking about it and I really want a series adaptation of it.

This was a super fun and quick read. I’ve never been a big mystery kinda gal because I feel like they can get boring quickly, but this was not the case! This book had me gripped from the beginning. The twists toward the end actually surprised me. I wasn’t expecting the ending. I highly recommend. Can’t wait to read the next book!

4.0

This book is really good for those who enjoy true crime and the "case study" aspect of crime shows or podcasts. It's interesting to be inside the mind of a really intelligent character. The story is a bit juvenile because it's written for a YA audience, so for other adults like me it can feel a bit silly at times. If you can look past that aspect, I think you will really have a fun time with this one.
