  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated

I really wanted to give this 5-stars, but I was brought out of the action a little too often with the switching POVs that I couldn't ignore it. I understand and appreciate the significance, and did enjoy the consistency of the 1:1 ratio in regards to the switching, though.

For me, this was the perfect blend of creepy and mysterious with a dash of lightheartedness that was weaved together so nicely to tell a great story.

I'm now hyperaware of how often I end up looking into reflective surfaces. I'm also glad that we don't have any wallpaper in my house, or at least none that hasn't been painted over!
