Because the book is so short, it was definitely a page turner because I knew I could finish it quickly and the concept is really engaging. However, there really wasn't a twist. The end was predictable and didn't provide much surprise or relief. I did enjoy it though, not bad, not great.

“IT” meets “The Silent Patient” in this truly disturbing and dark novel. I was deeply unsettled the entire time I read this. The vibes were incredibly haunting and terrifying throughout. The ending was a bit odd and left me a little confused, but other than that, this is a perfect short, horror story. (Definitely look up trigger warnings before picking this one up)

I didn't really vibe with this book. I did scare me a bit though because I finished reading it at like 1am.
