I'm not sure how to rate this book. I must say straight up that the blurb gave me more background that the actual book which disappointed me. If I hadn't have read the blurb I wouldn't have thought that the novella's main character was Cal. I really wanted more background on her.The level of intrigue kept me wanting to find out more. The little tidbits of information that we were given, the secret connections of some of the characters, kept me guessing who the killer really is. It was fast paced and at times felt like it was longer than the 66 pages.I liked the twists and turns of this story but it felt a bit disjointed at times. I realise that it was a short novella and that scenes had to be set up in a short space but, considering this was Cal's story, I actually connected more with Nico and Thena than Cal and Daniel. I think Nico has a lot more secrets than he lets on and I'd like to find out more about him.While Cal and Daniel were in a panic I felt that sometimes their thoughts and actions just didn't seem like we were reading about the same people. A bit more character development would have helped me understand their actions more. At first I questioned why they had sex when they did but it did give us an insight into their characters and left me with more questions about their relationship. I certainly didn't understand Cal's loyalty to Daniel after this scene. I wanted more on why she accepted this.I haven't read any books by Cara Lockwood before and I am intrigued as to where this series will go and will read the next installment. I hope that in the following stories we can connect a bit more with the characters
