Reviewed by Charlotte Reusch4,5 Stars. Simply addictive! I usally enjoy reading, but it's quite rare for me to not want to put a book down. While I was reading this book it was hard to get anything else done:) I just loved it! I liked the characters, the writing and the plot twists. It was just the right amount of hints that made me feel like I guessed a small part of the plot, but still kept me guessing. The ending still had me flabbergasted. I also appreciated the lightheartedness of the book. Some thrillers put me in a bad mood, but Miss Decima's funny comments and the story telling made this feel entertaining rather than grave. Absolute recommendation!
