Hi hello excuse me????? I absolutely DEVOURED this once I got the chance to sit down and read it uninterrupted. 

Truthfully I think this is one of the best thrillers I’ve read in a long time. The ending broke me bc I need more. These characters are some of the most complicated characters I’ve read about in a book in a while too. All of them had back stories that unraveled in a good pacing. Some of the plot twists I did see coming but that doesn’t upset me, I still ate this book all the way up. 

I got literal chills from one part of this book because it was so creepy and that is what I SEARCH for in thriller books. I’ve never had that before. It is classified as young adult but it’s a thriller so like do with that info what you will. 

I highly recommend this to thriller junkies.
