Unfortunately I was able to easily guess the major twist of this book. I did still get a small surprise with the minor twist but overall a little disappointed by the end of the book. I feel like a lot of my disappointment involves minor or major spoilers so I'm not going to say much. I felt the characters were a little flat or misrepresented, the major things that make this book "spooky" were kinda shrugged off, and I didn't like that the ending still felt like nothing happened or changed much.
Despite my disappointment I did still enjoy the read, otherwise this would have promptly been DNFd but I just wasn't fully satisfied.
Maybe I will like past books by this author more because I did like the flow of the writing.
