My third book by Riley Sager and my third time debating my own logic against the paranormal and true crime. Super satisfying ending, especially for Rufus.

After getting over the jarring pacing in the beginning, I could not put down the book. Parts of it were creepy, but I could see some twists that came later. However, the big twist was not seen.
I would say, if you like American Horror Story: Hotel, you might possibly like this book. It has similar vibes.

This book was amazing. The beginning is a little bit slow but from the 50% mark it picks up like crazy. Would have been 5 stars if

it didn’t have weird anti-satanist elements

but other than that I thoroughly enjoyed it.
