This book had a good cast of characters and good plot but I do feel like it got a bit confusing. I do like the different mediums used throughout the book (written statements, interviews, camera footage). There was a great amount of plot twists that weren’t expected and events that really made you think. The ending was interesting; I do feel like it was a little rushed but it did tie some loose ends.

I had to sit on this one for a bit after finishing it. The first 1/2 of the book was damn near creepy perfection. I loved it. Unfortunately, it had pacing issues in the second half that caused the story to become so disjointed to me, but it didn't feel intentional. I'm definitely interested and plan on picking up other works by this author. The writing and premises of this was good, and I think I'll end up reading a 5 star book by Marshall. It feels inevitable.
