This book was quite slow and I honestly did not get really deep into it to the point of having to keep reading until the last 80 or so pages. It was a nice book to read leisurely, but not exactly a thriller or page turner in my opinion until the very end. Ending was insane though!!!
I absolutely love this. Even though it is a fictionalized version of events, it gives you this odd sense of closure to one of the biggest mysteries of all time.
It took me some time to warm up to Audrey Rose and Thomas but at the end of the book I really liked them! I liked that Audrey Rose wasn't afraid to be feminine and pretty while also being badass but I wish there was a little less "oh I'm the enlightened one and look at all these other women only concerned with makeup/dresses/boys, I'm so above them" Can we please have women supporting women, like Liza with Audrey Rose, and less women tearing each other down please? The twist at the end was interesting, not a total shock, but close to one. I do wonder if there were enough hints in the beginning of the book to justify it. Overall a solid read, I'll be continuing the series!
