"A great mystery being stuck in a maze and trying to find your way out, only the maze changes every night and your not alone. Worth reading as well the other two books that come after!"

"Wasn’t as good as the movie unfortunately, but still really fun to read. I think I would have loved it more if I’d read it before watching the movies. "

"An interesting story with a good plot and decent characters, but some parts it’s dragged, overall a good novel to read "

"Such a hard book to review, but I’ll try! Although I have finished the book, I still have so many questions. The constant cliff hangers at every chapter makes you want to read more and more! Very neat plot idea with enjoyable characters that make you look forward to the next book in the series. Would definitely recommend reading!"

"Update guys: the series gets better, otherwise I wouldn’t have added it to the list. "

"While the premise and plot were intriguing, I found the main character’s internal dialogue and the spoken dialogue of other characters to be a bit repetitive. Because of this, the characters felt a bit flat. The story also ends rather abruptly, which is great for a series but not so good for making this a book of standalone merit. I found myself wanting more from the writing and continually being underwhelmed. "
