...Four stars because most of the book was riveting but what the actual f*ck was that ending? Seriously? I spent all that time building up to this? I'm so mad.
Anyway, for the most part this is a well written book that left me really invested in several of the characters and trying to figure out exactly where everything was going. That's my favorite thing about a good book. Unfortunately, it all gets kind of ruined in the last 25 pages or so. I can't say much beyond that without some major spoilers, but if you pick this book up, expect to finish it feeling cheated.
