I found that this book is not a favorite of mine in terms of Riley Sager books I've read so far but it was still very compelling and interesting. At times I did joke with friends that it read like an Agatha Christie fanfiction but towards the end everything truly became what Riley Sager is known for...messy and keeping you on your toes until the end.

If I hadn't had to read this book for a class I would have never picked it up. It isn't my thing and I found it really boring. My teacher is a big doomsdayer and Cold War fanatic so it makes sense he made us read this.

I enjoyed the world and the characters but depending on how Traitor Queen goes I might DNF the series after Lara and Aren's story is over.

Rhys and Tabitha had such a cute story and their banter was ELITE.

 I just wasn't in the mood to read this book for some reason.

The beginning confused me and took a bit to get fully into but once I was in it, I was IN it. I loved Genevieve and Rowin's story along with the mentions of Ophelia and Salem and call backs to Phantasma.

I still have no idea who book 3 is going to be about even if Kaylie Smith says it's mentioned.

 I liked how cute this was and the side characters (Izzy and Gabe) were funny and cute.

I did enjoy the ending and how it wrapped up. The entire series has been good and fast paced. The twist at the end of this book both shocked me and didn't at the same time.

The ending genuinely shocked me, and I'm now so intrigued going into book 4 because I want to see how it all wraps up. Also, the found family in this series is AMAZING!

I think I liked this book more than book 1 purely because I liked the MO of the killers and the romance started happening
