The beginning of the novella is really amazing. The intrigue, suspense, tangled relationships between people: all of which allowed me to read more than half the book in a day. A gripping detective story, overflowing with teenage feelings and romantic moments.
And it was all very promising until I was confronted with the ending.
At first I didn't even realize the book was over. So crumpled, ridiculous and illogical is the ending that destroys all the excitement of the first half.
thanks to the artist for the quality, beautiful art
