This was my first John Marrs book, it took a little bit for me to get into the story and find a connection to the characters at first. I wasn't really a fan of any of them for most of the book. But halfway through was when the storylines really became interesting and very twisty. 

I will say, it was easy to figure out most of the twists and I found myself not very blown away by most of the one's I didn't guess. There was just so much going on and a lot of characters, so it was almost too much to be shocked by. 

My favorite storyline was Christopher's, I've always loved psychological thrillers with a serial killer POV. I almost wished the entire book were based on his storyline, even though he was the most effed up character 😅

I really enjoyed the last 100 pages and I didn't want to put the book down. I overall liked the way the storylines concluded. I still don't understand the way the character's were so adamant that their every decision needed to be made based on their match. I didn't feel like that would happen to that degree in real life, but it is a neat concept. I overall recommend this book and look forward to reading more by the author.

Victorian Psycho by Virginia Feito

Did not finish book. Stopped at 28%.
The writing style was confusing to understand and it took away from the story. Also, some of the subject matter felt sensationalized for shock value instead of added excitement.
