I don't usually go for thrillers, but I'm a fan of true crime podcasts, so it makes sense that I'd enjoy this novel. The audiobook is incredibly produced; the added music and sound effects to the Netflix documentary transcripts and had different voice actors read those parts to make it sound like a real show. Enjoyed the feel of being thoroughly creeped out by Josie and her family, and while I predicted the murders correctly (as in who was getting murdered), I didn't expect the twist in Erin's epilogue at the very end. Makes me wonder if there will be a sequel, though the open-endedness of the ending is quite fitting for the story.

some pretty heavy trigger warnings in this book! it was a good slow burn read with twists and turns everywhere. some parts were very dark and difficult to get through, but overall it was worth the read.
