What I Thought:This is hands down one of the creepiest books I’ve ever read. It definitely was not what I expected it to be. I have this bad habit of just looking at ratings or a book cover and reading it without checking out a synopsis whatsoever. Maybe it’s not a bad habit but it can sure lead for pleasant surprises.
This is an incredibly smart, intense, masterfully written book, and at about 200 pages there is no excuse to not binge this in one or two sittings. My heart was beating so hard while finishing this book. The suspense was overwhelming up to the final twist, which was amazing. If you’re looking for a spooky book for Halloween, I strongly suggest this one.
