The Initial Insult

skye_edelson-bennett shared a tip "Really great and suspenseful, just didn't realize it was a duology. At least the 2nd book comes out on April 2nd. Can't wait to read it!"

emily_4218 shared a tip "This book was a roller coaster. It was a murder mystery and it really pulled me in. I liked it a lot, but i was very confused emotionally. It had a great story and i thought the setup was good. Seeing different perspectives always make a book more interesting. I recommend this book, but i wouldn’t tell you to rush to the library to get it."

emily_4218 shared a tip "summery - This book is a murder, but not so much mystery. It’s main characters are Tress and Felicity two very different people. Ex best friends. But we’re they ever REAL best friends. Tress parents went missing when she was young the only one who know how is Felicity. Tress is willing to do anything to get Felicity to talk. Will she find out how they disappeared?"

peachie_pie shared a tip "This was such an immersive read... the blurb on the back really sums it up better than I could so yeah, look up some blurbs and get excited. The only thing is I can’t tell if I’m supposed to understand the “resolution” of the story’s main mystery... maybe it’s saved for the sequel? Either way I’m excited!!!"

peachie_pie shared a tip "Lots of unresolved stuff though. I loved the atmosphere and the writing and the dialogue and the characters and the dark quirks but the plot just didn’t make sense and doesn’t pay off."

peachie_pie shared a tip "With such wonderful writing and no resolution, I will DEFINITELY be following this read with another thriller because I have mystery blueballs here. All in all I’m glad I read it and I will be looking up more of McGinnis’ work, and I really enjoyed the read, but I’m very pouty at the fact that I have to wait for the sequel for some clarity that may never come. Read it though, because the writing and the vibes and most of the ideas are impeccable... I just wish it was more thought out..."
