This is a very interesting story with a good mix of characters. Brady provides the reader with characters they will love to hate and some that they will just love.

I docked two stars because of the ending, no spoilers!! I feel like the line between a good plot twist and the author making it impossible to figure out the mystery is a little thin in this book, leaning towards the latter. I was disappointed in the end not because my theories were wrong, but because I felt like I just didn't have all the cards on the table to begin with. ( )
