challenging dark mysterious medium-paced

• Diverse cast of characters? No

4.25

Had really high expectations cuz Sarah Pinborough’s previous book is one of my all time faves. While this didn’t live up to that book, it’s still a very clever, twisty thriller with some creepy supernatural elements. Scarier than some horror books iv read tbh. The twist didn’t twist as much as I wanted it to but it was very well crafted and so hard to put down at the end.

This book is nonsense. It's quick, entertaining nonsense, but nonsense nonetheless.
