Very dark, very creepy, very suspenseful. Ultimately, the twist at the end wasn’t as twisty as I thought it would be, and I was a little disappointed. The ending filed down all of the spiky edges. It was a wild ride though.

Okay, I don't know how to feel about this book. Did I like it? I think so? Could I put it down? No f'ing way. Of course the writing was phennomenal, and I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see what happened, both in the manuscript and also between the main characters. I hated Verity (the character) which was obviously the point, and felt so much for Jeremy and his little family. But that ending, holy shit. This might be up there in terms of biggest plots twists I've read in a while. Wowzers. Well done 👏
