i gotta say that this book was very intriguing at the very beginning and it what makes me flip through the pages until the very end. i love how it was so messy in the beginning, how viv really did sound like a crazy person for trying to connect three different murders and how she still kept going even when everyone told her that it was such a nonsense. how it combined crime investigating with ghost stories and the constant switching of POVs and time stamp are what i like from this book, too. it was executed well, it made perfect sense, and it was a good but creepy read!
