Reviews

[Heather McKillip · Rating 2 out of 5]

I started this book because it seemed like a fun story to read this time of year. Unfortunately, there was really no Halloween theme, there were too many characters that were hard to keep track of, and the twists and turns had to be explained too much. The chemistry between Max and Rosemary felt forced. Some of the characters were entertaining, but I just didn’t really like this book.
