And the ending? Goodness. It hurt. Also I hate Oliver (she wrote his arc so well, I actually despise him)
The writing was beautiful, and the way Red's thoughts were incoherent, and haphazard, it was done so realistically. Like Jackson transcripted the thoughts of a real person. It was hard to get into the book at first, but it began picking up the pace quicker than I had the will to put it down.

It also made me think of 'Midnight' doctor who, which is my favourite episode. So that's a plus.
Overall, not as good as Jackson's other books. But still an enjoyable, engaging, and captivating read.

Truthfully I think this is one of the best thrillers I’ve read in a long time. The ending broke me bc I need more. These characters are some of the most complicated characters I’ve read about in a book in a while too. All of them had back stories that unraveled in a good pacing. Some of the plot twists I did see coming but that doesn’t upset me, I still ate this book all the way up.
I got literal chills from one part of this book because it was so creepy and that is what I SEARCH for in thriller books. I’ve never had that before. It is classified as young adult but it’s a thriller so like do with that info what you will.
I highly recommend this to thriller junkies.

The reason why it is not a 5 star is because it was a bit too dramatic and one character REALLY got on my nerves (which I think was intentional).
