I absolutely loved this book and I couldn’t put it down. It was dark and disturbing and fast paced.
I wish I could give it 5 full stars but what really took it down a notch for me was the ending.
Also the sleepwalking was so built up and it never ended up adding to the story at all.
All in all, an enjoyable read

I felt the letter was unnecessary and was the only part of the book I struggled to read because it felt so rushed and honestly felt like a twist that tried too hard and didn’t land.Also the sleepwalking was so built up and it never ended up adding to the story at all.
All in all, an enjoyable read
