According to what you wrote, this is not something I normally read. But given the elements mentioned and the fact that it's not a predictable young adult fiction story (which made me laugh) I think I might like it.S1234 wrote: ↑22 Feb 2020, 15:31 It's not a predictable young adult fiction story. I would argue it's not a young adult book due to the dark themes explored. I understand why some people would be put off if they are expecting a coming of age style story. There are light moments but I would assume this would be suited for an audience that enjoys dark psychological thrillers.

Please, let me warn you, it has a weird beginning. I don't want to spoil it but I'd recommend reading some reviews and the synopsis before going ahead. I wish someone had warned me before I started, just so I could have been prepared.ivana7 wrote: ↑25 Mar 2020, 02:33According to what you wrote, this is not something I normally read.

The general story wasn't so bad, but again nothing so special or original there. I was kind of hoping for a darker Artemis Fowl or similar from the synopsis .
