Thank you to Penguin Teen and NetGalley for providing me with an e-ARC for review. This was more of a slow intro, a book to take your time with, and then, when everything is set up, then the fun begins. But I’ll be honest, I wasn’t sucked into it like I thought I would be. Penguin Teen hyped up this book so much! I was so excited for it, I snagged it when they offered it to me and couldn’t wait to start reading.
