This was my 1st Sarah J. Maas book. And I loved it.
To me this is a love story and a story of friendship folded into a dark mystery filled with murder, betrayal, deceit and heartbreak. (Heartbreak for me as the reader and some of the characters as well, real tears were shed).
There is a major plot twist which I personally didn't see coming.
I am looking forward to the next installment in this series.
