My Review
This was a great story. I really got into it very early. It certainly kept my attention as it was interesting. It was fun, and you could tell something was going to happen it was building up. I would have loved a stronger ending as it just kind of fizzled out a bit. I loved the characters they developed well. My favourite section has to be the hotel section as you knew it was too good to be true. There were definitely a few shocking twists. I definitely recommend reading this book. Even if you are not a young adult, it is great as it reads really well for an adult book.
So much praise goes out to the author and publishers for creating such an interesting story. I will definitely be reading more from this fantastic author.
