Woah. I have to say, I wasn’t super shocked by anything that happened for the first 99.9% of this book. There were intriguing twists and reveals, but they were all things that had at least run through my mind as possibilities. I was still enjoying the book quite a bit. I like the writing style and I needed to know what was going to happen.

Close to the end, I thought I knew how it was going to unfold. It seemed like everything had been explained and it all made sense. Then the last chapter happened, and I had chills run through my body. Was not expecting it at all.

I’m knocking a star off mostly because some of the dialogue feels a little fake/stilted. Some of the characters speak in a way that doesn’t feel like a real live person would actually say it. Also, there were so many characters and I didn’t really feel like all of them served a purpose beyond being a red herring.

I really want to read more by this author soon.
