This book was disappointing to say the least. Although it was a good thriller, because it was entertaining and gruesome, I think the plot and the characters were very underdeveloped. It is a good quick read, but the plot lacked alot of consistency. The ending didn't make any sense, the characters back stories were very mediocre, even though the buildup before Makani's revelation made it seem like it was something intense. I still don't fully understand the killer's backstory and why they chose to target those certain individuals. Also the revelation happened way to earlier and the killer ended up being someone you don't know at all or even care about so the reveal was boring too. Finally, the ending was so abrupt that it leaves the audience with no explanation as to what will happen with Makani at the end. So a very mediocre read, which is sad because I liked Stephanie Perkins other books. I think I will skip the movie too now.This book was disappointing to say the least.

Really enjoyable book! It was so refreshing after reading so much YA dystopia. It was very quick paced and was definitely a page turner! The characters are all also very lovable. I am normally not very good with riddles and puzzles but this book laid them out in such an entertaining way that keeps the audience engaged. I loved the entire mystery aspect surrounding why Avery inherited and around Emily. The chapters were also so short which I liked. Overall, the entire aesthetic of the book was also so fascinating. It was fun to read about the look of the house. This book also wasn’t heavily romance based which I liked because there was much more to the plot, but the bits of romance that were added in the love triangle was actually so cute! It is definitely one of my favorite books! Would recommend to anyone who has also read the Raven Boys because some of the plot elements were similar to that series.Really enjoyable book!

A very solid 4/5 because the book felt really realistic to me. It dealt with adult romance in a way that was different from the cliche love triangles I’ve read about numerous times. The mature topics of domestic violence and love with pain revealed parts of human nature that are very relatable and heart touching. It was very fast paced and I couldn’t put it down either. Honestly, it was a breath of fresh air after reading so many cliche and overused love triangles in YA. This book is actually one of the few books that made me so angry with the characters, which is all the more why I love the book, because it resonated with me in a different way.A very solid 4/5 because the book felt really realistic to me.
