Solid 3.5. Plot moves quickly with some twists so will be an easy sell for booktalks. All of the spelled out foreshadowing annoyed me as a reader but could come in handy to teens. Appreciated all of the characters of color without that being part of the plot.
A good thriller for middle school and up. Nicks voice is great and funny for all the trauma he's been through. Over the top in the best way.
