Figured out the main twist about 30% of the way through the book which made it a lot less enjoyable to read through until it was blatantly confirmed. I can think of two additional twists I saw coming from a mile away, but two others I didn’t necessarily see. 

A fast-moving terrifying book, great for the month of October.

SpoilerAt first I was afraid that this book was going to turn out to be just another form of media spewing negative messages about mental illness, but Kubica allowed Sadie to find therapy and her own happy ending.

Some suspense, but pretty predictable. I had the book figured out before I was done with half of it. I’m glad I was listening to it as an audiobook versus reading a physical copy. Definitely wouldn’t read again, but it was a good, quick read!

Fantastic book with some more obvious twists and some surprise twists. Part way through the book, I was annoyed with yet another main character that decided they need to solve the crime instead of letting the police do the job, but it paid off in the end. Absolutely, worth the read!

Predictable & boring.
