The first half of this I was feeling ok about it. Probably a 3.5/4 ⭐️, but the second half? 🤌
All the information was already laid out so that it could all be revealed in the second half.
I felt dizzy from all the twists and turns. Every time I thought I knew what was going on, another reveal happened
I’m not big into horror, so if you’re like me I highly recommend this book.

I really enjoyed this book, and I didn't really figure out the twist until I think you were supposed to get an inkling. Other than gore, which isn't my thing, and the loss of the character's I loved, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Great character arcs for those who survived. And plenty of representation. Thankfully fairly low content warnings for "horror" I'd say more paranormal mystery/thriller with gore.

Oh my stars was this book horrifying. This is the first book I've ever read that caused me to worry about my ability to sleep at night. I literally had to fall asleep watching Netflix because I read this a little too late one night.
I loved the format and the delivery of this book. It was scary and terrifying and mystifying in all the right ways. I'm such a huge fan of the mixed media style. It not only aided the story itself by providing different perspectives and snippets in such an order that allowed things to be revealed or hidden or vague depending on the author's intentions at any given time, but also kept my attention span constantly engaged and constantly entertained with something new. I was constantly faced with unreliable narrators/POV's and situational irony and it added a whole extra layer of entertainment to the already thrilling narrative.
My only real issue was that the end was a little more open-ended than I personally would've preferred, but this book was so much about the journey anyways that it almost didn't matter.
