I really enjoyed this story, good storyline with a few twists along the way, the ending felt sudden! The narrator’s voice was soothing.

I really enjoyed this book. I had read some bad reviews which seemed to focus on the ending. The ending was odd, true, but I found the book really exciting

this book has me hooked from the beginning and even though I'd guessed the ending kind of.. I guess maybe a few more chapters could have really ended the book well.... guess I feel tiniest bit cheated on the ended.... had me thinking of how I would have ended the book and wishing the author had done so.
I did enjoy though.
