Instead of dipping my toe in the waters of horror, I feel like I just jumped in! This was so entertaining and captivating to me. Like, imagine yourself in that scenario. You have one choice to make? Will you make it? Can you make it?

Spoiler

I cannot believe the death of Wen! Her innocence was so pure and she didn't even get to have her birthday party! An ambiguous ending makes me love and hate it at the same time. Do Andrew and Eric continue on? Can they? There's so many questions and I know I will be thinking about this book and definitely revisit it!
