4.5

Picked up this book as a random find at the library. Went in with no expectations. A truly chilling, haunting story, great foreshadowing and use of literature, complex characters and shocking twists and turns. Graphic at times, so definitely not for everybody but I thoroughly enjoyed this. Think black swan vibes but with better built characters and story.
