I had kind of suspected something like what happened might be going on kind of mid-way through, but I was thinking
All of the
Very disappointed in the ending
I don't really know what I was expecting out of the book. It was a fine middle of the road story with an awful ending. I read it because I wasn't sure I wanted to watch the show of it on Netflix. Probably will not now.

It was good, don't get me wrong, but I definitely think it was overhyped. I didn't guess the twist but the moment you introduce supernatural/fantastical elements to a thriller I stop paying attention to how the author can outsmart me. It's fantasy, a fucking dragon could've dropped out of nowhere and I would've been like "guess that's happening now".
I still had fun reading it. It was good at being what it was: a thriller. However, I don't think it was as good as everyone made it seem.
