The was the weirdest book I have EVER read. 

The way the author describes a child’s underwear and body in detail gave me the ICK 🤮 The fact that this was pitched as a Teen/YA book when it was released is mind blowing to me 🤯 It was so creepy and weird. 

I gave this 3 stars because it did absolutely shock and repulse me, which I think was probably the point of this book and I wasn’t expecting it to be so brutal. I was also really rooting for the kids to be ok by the end and there was a TON of suspense.

Also, all I could think about when reading this was learning about Freud in Psychology class. I feel like he would’ve loved this book 😂
