There’s a lot to unpack here. I really don’t classify this as a “horror novel” yet here we are. I enjoyed this book. It was a short read and kept me entertained. Definitely worth checking out if you have two hours. The writing is great, but I can’t give these book a 5/5 due to the fact that I figured out the twist in the middle of the book. So a 4-5 But still.
