I really enjoyed this book. However, if you’re like me and only want to read it because you want a history on Death Cast and how it works/how they know people are going to die… we get a POV from the creator all the way through the book and we never find out. It’s a similar story to the first book, but weaves some of the characters from it into this one and has its own heartening plot.

I adored They Both Die At The End, a book that left me on the edge of my seat. So, when I picked up The First To Die At The End, I thought that it would be the same plot. Boy, was I wrong. Much like the original book, I was so attatched to the two leads that I was absolutely terrified of them both dying - and I may have deluded myself into believing that they weren't going to. The ending is beautiful and

shows our introduction to how the protagonist's of the first book met.

i loved this book! i read it in one sitting and instantly fell in love with the characters.

there are so many parallels from the first book as well as encounters with mateo and rufus as children.

some scenes were a little hard to read and a bit cringe, but other than that it was amazing. so many plot twists and the ending was heartbreaking but heartwarming.

Do I dare say I actually liked this way more than the first one? To me, I felt like this novel had so much heart and so much love just pouring out of it, I kind of wanted to cry the entire time. This is so genuinely loving, and all of these people are just trying their best to be family before they can't anymore, and I loved it. I also spent the last 15-20% genuinely shocked at the ending which is not something that normally happens to me! It was missing a certain specific sparkle to be rated 5 stars, but it definitely got close.
