A super quick, gory read. Nothing over the top and just the right amount of mystery and suspense.

Great, short read. The author was really able to build a sense of dread around every corner. A creepy portrayal of a toxic familial relationship. Well done!

This book was a wild ride! I called one of the twists but it didn't even matter because it was so tense and enthralling. It however did not end how I thought it would at all! 

It was tough for me personally to get through as someone with a manipulive parent I've had to cut off but made it all the more scary for me.

That being said I saw myself in Miller and honestly can sympathize with just giving into a parent like Sylvie because it's "easier". Made the ending even more devastating for me!
