5.0

What I really loved is that sometimes I would feel like I knew what was going on, and I was right, and then others I was absolutely thrown for a loop.

This is a solid thriller with light horror vibes, and while it might not be the season for scares, I found myself needing to put it down if I was reading too late in the evening.
