I really enjoyed how mysterious and dark this book is. The story between Ben and Aimee could have been described in more detail, as could Aimee’s acting career, but overall it was good. I was pretty shocked with the ending but the author relied more on blood and gore than actually developing the climax to a spine-chilling finale.

secretsoup's review against another edition

It’s super uncomfortable to read, and just disjointed enough to have me not buy into the actual plot. It relies completely on shock value of these uncomfortable situations rather than crafting a compelling narrative. So i went to find spoilers and discovered that the twist was extremely stupid and dispiriting, and, you guessed it, uncomfortable/gross.
