4.0

This was a true page-turner, the type of book where my eyes keep trying to skip ahead on the page because I'm so anxious to know what comes next. I loved the overall atmosphere of the creepy parts, the mystery, the suspense, and the unknown variable of not knowing what is real and what's imagined.

I did feel the ending fell a bit flat in comparison to the rest of the book; it was tied up quite neatly, almost too neatly to be satisfying. I especially felt the main character was lacking in development. Despite that, I liked it overall.
