mysterious tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.5

Wow - as far as psychological suspense goes, this was one for the books! I found it a little repetitious at times, but it's a fast read.

i finished this book in one sitting. 
as much as the characters annoyed me, and were truly insufferable, the author really knows how to weave a story together and make it addicting.
definitely a strong recommendation for a thrilling binge read. 

i most definitely saw through the richard misdirect, but it was nice to even question just a little bit what really was going on.

i do wish there had been more done with the aspect of joanne being an unreliable narrator, with her mother’s history of PPD. i think it could’ve been a really good plot device, but it seemed to be put to waste.

the story reminded me of the omen or the good son. 
in its entirety, it’s very creepy, frustrating, and really puts you on the edge of your seat.
