I hate saying anything bad about a free book from BookBub but I did not like it. The main character went through a major traumatic event, but it was difficult to empathize with her – throughout the entire book, I felt like she was bratty and annoying.

At first I was a little unsure about this book, the games weren’t obvious and it made you wonder. Then aaah, I don’t want to leave any spoilers, but what the heck!?!?! I can’t wait to read the next 2 in the series.
Disappointing and didactic. Storyline quite absurd. Annoying, almost fatuous ending
