Of course this was perfect. Was there ever any doubt? I fell in love with this book before it even really existed, through Fangirl, and having it in my hands was an incredible feeling. Honestly the whole, 'We're enemies but I've sort of been in love with you for years' is definitely one of my favourites. I loved the progression through this book, I didn't want it to end. It was cheesy and cliché at times and I loved it. It felt like reading a little romance novel, but with much more, you know, dragons and stuff. My only complaint: not enough kissing. But there is never enough kissing in my opinion.

I have read Reconstructing Amelia, which I did originally buy solely because we shared a name, and it very quickly became one of my favourites. So it's fair to say that I had high hopes for this novel. And I was not disappointed. It was mysterious and exciting and contained many twists and turns that I honestly never saw coming, as all the best books do. It, as is the same with Reconstructing Amelia, dives into the ideas of motherhood. And truely gives insight that, even as someone who has not yet had children and still considers herself a child, can appreciate. Although the themes are grotesque, it was well worth the read and I would recommend it to anyone interested in Crime/Thriller/Mystery.

As it with all thriller/crime books I enjoyed this one. Although at the time I bought it I hadn't realised it was a part of a series as it doesn't mention it on the book itself. I fact it was only after finishing it and coming here to add it to my reading list that I realised.
However even without the other books I enjoyed this one and had a relatively easy time staying on track of what was going on.
This book was interesting in the way it dealt with betrayal and distrust and stigma. The characters were complex and the plot twists were sudden and surprising at times.

This book was twisted in the best way. It was confusing and thrilling and suspenseful and a little bit scary at times.
The theme of twins is interesting and enlightening, even more so because of the girls' young age. It allowed a sense of innocence to emerge between the death and confusion and gave the book an edge because yes it was creepy but it was also primarily a story about little girls who just don't know how to not be part of a set.
The reoccuring theme of identity loss is heartbreaking because this is a child and she is scared and this book explores that so well.
This book is a whirlwind, but it's one that I enjoyed.
