I loved the beginning of this book and how much mystery there was, it was truly hard to put down. But I feel like it faltered in the end, it felt rushed and mildly cheesy.. for as much time was spent enhancing the mystery, I feel the ending could have been more drawn out, and more satisfying. Overall though, it was a unique story, and a fun supernatural experience.

The ending of this book sucked. I loved the book and was on the edge of my seat and then it just kinda ended in the most meh way and fell flat.

A harrowing tale with many twists and turns, which keeps you interested and guessing. I was glued to the story up until the last third. I wasn't thrilled with the ending.
