✨REVIEW: Advertised as the perfect summer suspense, I found this book to be hot and cold. Sometimes I was SO into the story, and other times I was not into it at all. I found myself putting the book down more than I usually do, especially with suspense books.
Right on cue with a good suspense book though, I felt that this gave me a very uncomfortable feeling most of the time. You know there is something up with Anna and Aurelia, but I truly felt confused at some points.
Eventually I started to figure it all out, and it was nice to begin to fill in the pieces.
Near the end it felt less like a mystery, or at least it did for me since I figured it out, but everything gets wrapped up for you in those last few chapters. Overall it was a good read, I just wished there was more of a bang to it all.
