FINALLY a “thriller” that isn’t predictable as hell!! Everything else I’ve read lately has been so overhyped and everyone just loves it and it’s so predictable and boring it’s ridiculous. ANYWAY. I didn’t love it, but I definitely enjoyed it. Finished in just shy of two and a half hours. 

They definitely wanted you to believe it was

Bray

because they framed that really nice. BUT THEN they were dropping hints it was

Phillip

and I deadass believed it was him from the beginning. 
I do think that it actually being

a sister no one knew about

isn’t that much of a shock value? But I definitely didn’t see it coming. HOWEVER the one issue I have with that is

They mentioned that the mother committed suicide because she was five months pregnant when her and the father were arrested and jailed for the crimes. I find it hard to believe that a fetus of only five months old managed to survive the mother killing herself AND if she’s in prison I don’t see anyone trying very hard to save the fetuses life but whatever </spoiler<
