But
Implementation wasn't
Maybe coz I have watched a series based on the same concept that's why maybe I didn't like it much
.
But the three stars is coz she thought of it and implemented it
.
And
She was writing like she was explaining it to naive people
Like to someone who is new to thriller or horror
It was slow
Couldn't grab out attention
.
Just finished it coz we were curious

The story is engaging most of tge way & written with soaring, sumptuous imagery at the start but unfortunately unravels once the secrets are revealed - the language ultimately feels more melodramatic soap opera than true, rich gothic.

As far as content, I personally felt that it was descriptive enough to illicit suspense and dread but not so descriptive as to be disturbingly graphic. The profanity was minimal, but strong.
Overall, this was a fun, fast-paced read that really fit the criteria for both my Summer and Fall booklists, which I found perfect for the in-between feeling of back-to-school season

Once the twist hits this book swings for the fences, and while I did think the last couple of chapters dragged on a bit too long overall I really liked this.
