I honestly do not even know how to review this book! It is probably one of the oddest books I have ever read. I don’t mean it in exactly a bad way but it definitely confused me quite a lot!
First of all, the book is written from the main character; Erma’s point of view while she tries to work out why her colleague wanted to kill her. She gets involved in some dark and violent incidents. Her life spirals into even more danger as she tries to unravel the mystery.
The strangest parts of the book are from the chapters written in the point of view of a character called Sero who is from a retro Choose Your Own Adventure book and it is written in that format. (Remember those books? I used to love them!) Sounds confusing right?! This all ties in with Erma’s life but without spoiling it for you I can’t really explain how it links. And to be quite honest, I am still not sure after finishing the book! It is quite unpredictable, though I did manage to work out one of the main twists somehow.
I did enjoy this book, but it was just so confusing, especially in the middle sections where it was mainly Sero going round in circles. The parts with Erma however I found really gripping even though I found her character quite unlikeable.
I can only describe this book as a fantasy thriller that has a lot of twists and turns. So if you do read this, open your mind, go with the flow and enter the spiral.
