This was fun and quite addicting! I will say, full disclaimer, that I was pretty sure I knew what the deal was from fairly early on, and I did turn out to be right. But, that didn't stop me from compulsively reading to find out if I was! So that is to say, it certainly isn't glaringly obvious or anything, I just had a hunch. Anyway, moving along!
One of my favorite things about this one is that I actually really cared about what happened to Cassidy. She was a great main character, which is sometimes lacking in thriller/mystery types, but not in this one. Cassidy has a really rough background, stemming from a fire when she was young, and it's been haunting her for years. She is not even sure if she is a reliable narrator, which of course makes us wonder just as much.
I loved that she was so desperate to know the truth, even if it implicated her. And she wanted so badly to save Melody, even though Melody was kind of the worst. It was just all the more reason I rooted for Cassidy. I also loved how Gideon was (mostly) by her side no matter what, their friendship, and Cassidy's feelings for him, made my heart melt in the midst of a pretty precarious situation.
Bottom Line: An enjoyable and very readable mystery with a great cast of characters!
