The Redpoint Crux

I struggled with the rating for this book. It was a solid read. I was never going to go under a 3 but I struggled enough that I will keep it at a 3 instead of 3.5 or 4. The main reason for the struggle is because the blurb for the book kind of doesn't fully match the book. It's almost like that was written first and then the book shaped itself later on.

I tried hard to like Megan more..but she made that very difficult. She had not only danced ballet but then she went on to be a climber..and was very good at it. Having sponsors and all. How bad ass is that? But her running every time something bad happened ( and a couple of times it was literal. She legit just ran out the door and left.) was very off putting. Even when I tried to put myself in her mindset. She is 17. She has some trauma. But it just happened on time too many so i was over it. I liked Liam. I liked his character growth as the book went on. Bellamy remained a mystery from beginning to end. Does he have magic? I feel like he used magic at the beginning. But then he just seemed different for lack of a better term for the rest of the book. but no magic. BUT I REALLY FEEL LIKE THAT WAS MAGIC? I don't know.

The book kept a pretty steady pace through out. Something was always happening to keep it flowing. I didn't get the killer at all. I thought I did but I was way wrong and it was good. I really liked how it ended because again...Bellamy. He is a puzzle that I'm not sure I want solved. And I mean that in a good way.
