the most incredible, incapsulating crime novel i’ve ever read. definitely my favourite read of the year. it terrified me but i was so hooked. i picked it up randomly and i COULD NOT put it down. the plot twists were amazing and it was gorgeously scary!! i suddenly want to read every thing North has even published

Alex North was able to weave a realistic story with paranormal elements that instead of feeling forced or out of place, added to the plot.

This was enjoyable! When I was reading it I was really intrigued and immersed in the story, but when I put it down and didn’t really think about it or want to pick it up. It is very slow and honestly not a lot happens in the first 90%, but I still mostly enjoyed that. I liked how there was a supernatural aspect which your don’t know if it’s real or not. I always enjoy that. There was honestly to many points of view and I only liked 3 of them. I don’t like following detectives all that much. I’m glad I read this because it was a good slow burn mystery (just not a favorite) and will probably read more from this author.

The eeriness of the story is so well written. It constantly kept my mind guessing as to where it was taking me. Fast paced page turner that I read in two days. Staying up far too late because I just wanted so desperately to know the end.
