Where do I even begin....o.O This was the hardest most fulfilling book i've read in 2020 so far hands down. Wow...The domestic violence and the grooming of these young girls not only made me sick to my stomach and cry on numerous parts but Lei's character made me shout out several times yeah you badass get it! I was rooting for Lei the entirety of this book and wren has got to be amongst the highest of my favorites. They are THE perfect duo and I loved both of them. Aoaki was my next in line of favorites when it came to the characters but I shook my head on how much she was brainwashed and gaslighted by her situation...I loved the progression of this story, I am so anxious to pick up the second one now in this series and the fact there is a 3rd installment in 2021 coming o.O!!!?!?!?! yessssssss! overall what a hard read but amazing overall story. So glad I binged this one! Everything moved at a pretty good pace, I was never bored with the details and just ugh definitely recommend!

So I did like this book. I've read one other Ruth Ware book called in a dark dark wood and really loved that one. It felt very suspenseful just like the previous ware book I've read. I was entirely creeped out and almost stopped reading but glad I got to the end. It was very suspenseful and definitely chilling at points in the book and towards the end really gave me a flip with that twist about her mom which i will keep spoiler free in case there are those that haven't read it yet but overall pretty good. Solid 4 if there was an option to do 4.5 i would. Definitely recommend for a spooky season/autumn read.
