If you can get through the terrible dialogue and the child-like behavior, I think it’s worth finding out how the books ends. The. Ending. Is. Crazy!!

This book was incredibly repetitive, the characters and their encounters with Lillian and her doings seemed as if they were going in circles the  entire time until they just reached the end. I also thought that the ending was quick for no reason, and I thought it didn’t make too much sense. Although the not-so-good writing made it hard to get through each chapter, the intriguing plot and similar, but also simple and creative occurrences with the dolls and deer made it easier to get through so props to the author for their creativity.

I genuinely thought the people that  died could’ve made it out with how fast-paced Natasha made the ending, it seemed like it happened over a few minutes and it didn’t seem realistic with how Olly and Kayla died only being shot in the stomachs and not even given enough time to bleed out.
