This was good and creepy and might be one of my favourites by Jewell. I liked how the podcast was used throughout, but never felt overused. The plot was off-putting and kept me guessing the whole time. Jewell is great at creating uncertainty, but sometimes she relies on totally unlikable characters to do so, but in this case having Alix grounding the story really helped. She was hard to like but had redeeming qualities that made me want to keep reading to find out what was going to happen. Jewell really seems to be on the upswing again, since I think this is my first 4* read of hers since <i> Then She Was Gone </i>.
