This book is pretty addicting, once I pick it up it’s really hard to put it down and it kept me up until dawn. I couldn’t stop cause I need to know the identity of the culprit and the big reveal really surprised me at the end.
I really enjoy my time following the main character – Lauren and her friends as they tries to discover the truth about the murder mystery happening in Happy Valley.
Lauren has a dark past she didn’t want anyone to know in the first place which made her struggle at first, but once they started to trust her the investigation is pretty interesting to follow.
For a debut novel, this is a pretty good written story and I would’ve liked it more if Lauren’s background story was told something that happened in the past instead of telling what happened piece by piece throughout the story, which sometimes pull me out of the main story – the murder mystery in Happy Valley.
Other than that, I was able to enjoy this YA thriller that comes with a satisfying ending and one culprit that I didn’t see coming at all.
I would keep an eye out for the next book by this author in the future!
