"This is written with a unique perspective. Throughout most of the book I found myself saying I didn’t really like it, but then I couldn’t put it down because I wanted the mystery solved. Upon concluding the book I found I don’t “miss” the characters, and while I did not connect with the characters, I was fully drawn into the storyline and engaged. This book is so unique that I would definitely recommend it. "
