I've had this book on my shelf for a couple of years, and I'm so happy I finally decided to read it. I was confused in a good way at the beginning of the book, but the story picked up halfway through. Noah Shaw>>>> I loved Mara, too, but she really pissed me off at the end of the book. And it left off on a damn cliff hanger.

Enjoyable re-read from my youth. Nothing mind blowing but I liked the mystery and actually like the psychological/supernatural thriller aspects. The romance was pretty bland and the main male lead the worst 2010s cliché (which made him extremely unattractive to me) but I enjoyed it for what it was.

There is a scene in which the character harms herself and its not made clear whether she did it on purpose or not. The main character also suffers from constant PTSD and panic attacks. A lot of talk around death, grief, and mental illness
