I genuinely think this is one of the most mind-blowing stories I’ve come across.

I’m not generally a fan of thrillers, but the twists, the turns, the ambience, the questions holy shit. I’ve never read anything like this. My first thought after finishing it was “WHAT THE FUCK” and how this is the only book I would give up anything to experience for the first time again.

Even seeing the twist coming didn't prepare me for just how wild it was.

Really well written and very tense.
Something about the ending fell a little flat for me, though that too was well written. A lot of the tension in the book was based on small things that didn’t quite make sense, but I don’t think the ending really justified them. I also felt a little cheated to have a female protagonist turn out to just be the projection of a male protagonist.


All in all it was worth reading and despite my slight misgivings still gave me lots to think about.

I’m going to hesitantly give it a 4 star tho that may change. 

This is a really creepy book, I think if you’re looking for an atmospheric read that’s more about the emotions of fear than the feeling of understanding what on earth is going on- then this is a great book.

It feels a little too vague for me, but I still really enjoyed it.
