Overall, I really enjoyed this book. It was a dark, creepy story that was a lot of fun to read.

There were some moments I felt the pace was slowing down a bit, but it would pick back up again quickly. When I thought things were as dark or disturbing as they were going to get, the story would take another, darker turn. 

The ending before the epilogue made me a bit emotional, honestly. I would recommend this book if you’re looking for something to give you the creeps!

To be honest, I did not find the story super special or groundbreaking but I did get invested. I also liked the author’s writing style.
