mysterious fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

I will start with saying I didn’t hate this book and I don’t think it was bad as such. The problem is that it just fell flat. I went into it expecting to get this creepy atmosphere with tension being built as people are in danger from this unknown person, who could be one of them, instead I got characters were very lack lustre without much personality except for what came from their past. I predicted some of the moments before they happened, including the end reveal (10-20 pages before it happened) and the final reveal and explanation had me rolling my eyes a bit. I will say it was fast paced, easy to read and follow but I think the length and the focus on the fast paced meant we lost the atmosphere that should have been there. Overall a meh read.
