I really, really wanted to love this. Based off the description/ blurb, it felt like this was exactly the type of book I needed this October. It started off super interesting but about 1/2 through I felt it was just static. No progression of the story or mystery.
The Beast parts were fun though. After the mystery "reveal" there is another mystery that was better but also a bit drawn out and underwhelming. I dunno. I just really wanted more from the ending but less from the redundancy, I hope that makes sense.
Anyway, 2.5 stars rounded up. Solid enough for me to finish.
