4.5

It took almost half the book to really get into it, but then I was hooked. A half star was lost for me because of that and because it was hard to figure out the time jumps in the beginning. I loved the mystery and suspense without it being overly scary (though I did get creeped out several times). I also liked that there wasn’t any gore or graphic violence.

This constantly felt like it was on the verge of something happening but it never did. The ending was especially unremarkable.

I loved reading this, but don't really like the way the mystery is solved... kept thinking this book was going to be something it wasn't
