This book was absolutely phenomenal. This is a standard horror movie with all the classic horror tropes but it draws inspiration from Mary Shelley's life and her writing retreat with Lord Byron and the crew when she came up with Frankenstein.
The thriller/horror components were so well done and the audiobook really enhanced the atmospheric tension of the story. I was on the edge of my seat listening to this and was absolutely flabbergasted by some of the things that happened.
Incredible stuff.

If the author's goal was to get me on edge that I was scared by every little sound I heard, and to give me chills then she succeeded.
I didn't think this book would be so psychologically engaging (I mean its a mystery ya, how bad can it be), but I was so on edge especially the latter half of this book, that I jumped every time my dog moved, so...
I predicted things, then changed my predictions, then went back, then changed them continuously trying to figure out the mystery; it's predictable but makes you doubt its predictability.
I'm also still in denial of the end of chapter 39, just refusing that reality...
I just kind of hated Rachel, so minus points there.
