Rezension von AngieWow, amazing - loved it so much!
Rezension von Ida 🪩💕Fand es gut aber es war kein persönliches Highlight. Der Plot am Ende war schon sehr gut aber ich fand dass es sich in der Mitte ein bisschen gezogen hat. Trotzdem ein gutes Buch und ich werde auf jeden Fall bald den zweiten Teil lesen 😊
Rezension von Isabellarichtig gut, das Ende hat mir sehr gefallen
Rezension von CosiSo so spannend mit drei Plottwists und dauerhafter Spannung!
Rezension von Zaz[CONTAINS SPOILERS] I really enjoyed this book, the ending was so satisfying. Although I feel like the relationship between Nina and Enzo was unnecessary and then it was carried on between Millie and Enzo? The way Andrew died was relatively abrupt, though from the way the book was written, I'm not sure how else it could've ended. Loved the way it was announced to the reader though. One thing that also bugged me was that from both Nina and Millie's perspective, they both talked and acted the exact same. They used the same vocab and reacted the same to completely different things (I'm not talking about the references to things in the attic) but i feel like there should've been a bit more uniqueness and depth to the character's and their perspectives. However the plot was enjoyable. My predictions on what the final outcome would be differed almost every chapter and that was a fun experience. I have only just started out reading again and this was a good, easy read. All in all this book was very thrilling and funny at times, and I will consider buying the next book in the series. Hopefully it's deeper than this one.
