The overall plot of the novel has its unique twist and turns which made the novel entertaining throughout the reading. The readers easily imagined the flow of the events in the novel because each setting has been described splendidly. The connection of each chapters main plot made the novel thrilling and the readers to wonder what could possibly be the next thing that might happen. Though the ending is predictable the author of this novel manage to surprise its readers and make their heart skip a beat with the romance mixed in with suspense and thrilling mystery. On the other hand too many complicated events were forced to have connection in the middle so if the readers didnt read the beginning thoroughly they might get confuse in the novels middle plot and ending. Nevertheless I advise this novel to be read by teenagers and adults because they are to enjoy this novel more than that of the youngsters.
