I'm not sure where to start. I really didn't care for this book loads. Mainly because I've not read any other books in this series before, that being a mistake on my part so I most likely didn't understand the characters greatly.

I believe that the writing structure changed a lot. Certain chapters it was a lot more basic which I think worked a lot better, whereas the more complex and developed writing was boring. The one I also found to be more complex took longer for me to understand what was going on.


Did I enjoy the book? In parts , 100%. I thought the story was extremely gripping and jumps straight into the action. Fans of Karen Mcmanus will adore this book and I hope they find it as it will be up their street.
