If I could bring one character to life from any book, I would choose the MC from this one. Not because we would be friends or anything like that. I just really want to punch her in the face.

As I am writing this review I have already read the first three books of the series and so I know all the spoilers but my rating stands and I truly believe we needed to know more information by the end of this book and I do not feel like enough was solved, bu I did like the other two books more.

I need to confess tho that I only read this series bc I want to read the box in the woods for the summer but I cannot jump on series (I am trying to fix that bc sometimes it is ok to do it) I hate David and love Nate and that's all I have to say.

And yes it took me 11 days to read this book bc I was so bored at times

I LOVE NATE

david was not as bad as i was anticipating, but he was still a jerk. i don’t hate him though.

and i have no idea what’s gonna happen next whatsoever. no theories, no nothing. i don’t know if that means the mystery was well-plotted or if i’m just stupid (definitely the latter lmao).

3.5/5

An enjoyable page-turner. I'd tried to listen to the audiobook months ago and dropped it after about an hour because I hated the narrator. It wasn't until about 20 pages in the second time around that I realized it was the same book. Reading the hard copy was a lot more fun.
