I didn’t expect much going into this so my expectations were exceeded. It’s a gripping story, the perfect length, but I didn’t connect with it as much as I would have wanted to, pushing through a slump as I was.

The start of this book was so very long. Once I got into the book, it was actually a pretty good read.
I don’t read fantasy too much so all the faerie stuff was very unusual for me, but I still enjoyed reading the book, although it felt quite silly to explain the plot to other people.

If I was to give it a rating half way through reading it, I would’ve given this book a solid 2.75.
This book was a very easy read (almost too easy and too childish), and the writing wasn’t amazing, but the plot was pretty great. The revelation hit me like a truck and I was so shocked. I must be pretty hormonal right now because I was sobbing for the last part.

This book took me on a journey! It was fascinating the whole way through. I love how effortless it felt to read and understand, how the events unfolded and were narrated by the three females' whose perspectives we view them from. I love how it shows how different things seem to others. I also find it amazing how they meshes together, and how the true events are revealed piece by piece.
I do wish, however, that we found out what happened to Scott and Kamal at the end, as the only thing that we are told is that the houses are left empty and we never hear of Kamal after his and Megan's last meeting, where she told him that she was going to tell Tom about the baby. I think it was okay to leave it out, but it would've provided a bit of closure and stopped the reader from wondering what happened to them, as well as Anna, Evie, and other characters, however, I think this is just a personal preference of mine.

i feel as though i tried to get through the whole series too fast and i put myself into a slump for so long after trying to get through this particular book. i might try and pick it up after a while, but i doubt i'll remember most of what has happened so far in the series. i don't even remember their names haha
