I loved this, it's such a strong start to a series and I can't wait to read the sequel when it comes out! I had heard the first 100 pages were the worst bit and I'd say that was true, if you're thinking of giving up before this I'd say stick with it for a bit longer! I really enjoyed the mystery elements and some of the twists did catch me by surprise. It took me a little while to get invested in the romance but by the end I was hooked!
