I’m super disappointed with this book.
I liked how the riddle came together and kept you guessing right until the end, but the flip flopping on Tobias was a bit painful and a tad convenient.
But the thing that really disappointed me was the whole jamieson/Grayson/ Avery triangle.
I had struggled with who I shipped, and had come to the conclusion I shipped Grayson, as did the majority of people I have spoken to.
But it felt like she was bending over backwards to make them seem like end game. You know, the whole thou out protest too much sort of thing.
And then at the end? Grayson doesn’t end up with anybody and doesn’t really get a HEA? So unsatisfying.
But at least the riddle was solved…
