I really liked the book I wouldnt give it a full 5 stars because it is a series and I haven't finished the second book and there will be a third coming out. But it definitely makes me want to read the next book!

It’s not  the best written book I’ve ever read, but really great plot twists, and love that the twists come throughout the book not just in the last chapter!!
