Very intriguing thriller! It gave me Alice Feeney vibes and I couldn't get enough.

The book is dark and twisted but a mystery as well!

If you think it’s about a creepy child, you will probably be right and then be wrong

3.5 stars.

this was such an amazing book. i will ravenously consume any sort of mystery/thriller novel, and rarely do they succeed my expectations. not only could i not put this book down, but i genuinely had no idea how the story would end.

the only part that i did not love was the fact that the book was translated and because of that, the grammar/writing wasn’t the best.

Started out interesting but devolved into a bunch of contrived twists and a multipage exposition-fest
