I'm only giving it a 3 because I enjoyed her writing style. I HATED being left without any answers. I'd really love to see a second book or even a trilogy come out of this. 😭

dark emotional sad tense medium-paced

3.0

I was expecting some twist or something exciting at the end and it just wasn’t there. I feel like the author could’ve done so much more with the ending and it was kinda just blah. Like, there was a feeling of this huge build-up that something was coming throughout the whole story and then the book kinda just ended. It kept my attention all the way though and I was just very let down. It would be hard for me to recommend this book.

This might just be the most disturbing book I've ever read, or the most disturbed I've ever been and I've read a lot of disturbing books, but this just tops it in a very weird way. I just wanted to read a thriller... I'm gonna take a breather and read and watch some fluffy stuff, cause my last read was also very disturbing...
