Performance was excellent.

The story was quite interesting but the ending seemed to have some plot holes that were irritating and added to my disappointment in the final outcome which spoilt the book for me.

Was waiting for the twist that never happened. Narration great. And an ok book to pass the time but nothing ground breaking

Pretty boring and predictable.

This book was super hard to follow - very dark at times which I struggled with but didn't see the ending that came out of it at all... A lot of twists and turns

Intriguing
