Honestly this is more thriller than horror.
Overall I was highly frustrated with Daphne as a character. She was constantly feeling like she was treated like a child. Well, she damn well acted like it. And it was so relieving when Edwin, at her insistence, exploded and finally told her that. Not that it really fixes much of the problem.
The ptsd kind of aspect was good.
How daphne and Edwin were “in love” by the end bewilders me cause they knew each other for like less than a week.
I do with there’d been more actual investigation instead of just fluff.
I did like the twist with the killer. I didn’t see it coming.
The povs with any character aside from daphne and Caroline were pretty much useless.
I also didn’t care for the supernatural aspect of the book. It just felt so left field and not really developed or explained.
