I enjoyed this suspenseful young adult story. This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites. I have enjoyed this author from the first book that I picked up from her. This is a new book for this author which was hard to put down. This is a fast paced story that pulled me in from the beginning. The characters are not only connectable but I enjoyed their growth throughout. They kept the story engaging and had me wanting to know more. This is a story about a Royal family that is being picked off one by one. Now, with a mixture of lies, secrets and has Adrijana second guessing her instincts. I enjoyed her character and what she brought to the story. For me, she made the story entertaining to read. I also enjoyed the growth of the plot that kept me guessing.
