I love this, it’s a fast read because I couldn’t put it down until I knew what happened in the end. Also love the ending even though some reviewers didn’t!

First two-thirds, excellent. Last third, dissatisfying.
dark mysterious fast-paced

Not sure if I love this or hate this. The story line is fantastic and so creepy but because this was so short the writing felt clunky and just bad. If this was a full length novel I feel like I would have be enthralled. Makes me excited to read her other work.

the first two thirds of this story were riveting and captivating, but the end was so disappointing. really not short story material—it had the legs to go on for another 150+ pages and stopped far too prematurely to get away with the whole artsy-ambiguous-ending angle.

Fun and fast read.
