I finished this book a while ago and totally forgot to update this soooo I don't remember much of what I thought about it this book but I'll tell you what I remember. 
I liked the writing, in the beginning the author did a really good job of getting me hooked and keeping my attention but half way through that changed. I started to get bored and I didn't feel like much was happening, and I kinda lost my desire to read it. 
I will say the author did a good job with the mystery aspect. 
I also found that I didn't really connect with the characters that much and wasn't super fond of any of them, I didn't hate them but I didn't love them.
My biggest dislike of this book was who the killer ended up being, I felt like it was kinda obvious and anticlimactic. I felt like it didn't make since for a full grown adult to make the decision he did.

Overall, it was a good book and I do plan on giving the second book a try because I already own it but honestly Im probably not ever gonna reread these books.
