A great, “wtf is happening” read with an ending I didn’t quite expect.
Though the big bad was very stereotypical, the other characters, particularly Alon and their adorably loyal doggo, more than made up for it. There were quite a few characters, so we don’t get too deep into any of them but it also doesn’t get convoluted or confusing. You get a good enough amount of info you need about the characters in scene and it works.
It definitely had me creeped out a time or two as well! It reads like a thriller movie that’s not quite horror, which for me personally is fantastic. Especially if you like a little thrill but want to be able to still sleep at night.
There are some minor details that didn’t quite make sense to me, hence the 4 stars, but I’d still highly recommend this book.
