Some decisions made my the FMC in this book frustrated me but other than that, this book was a great read. I love the twist near the end. The way it ended never crossed my mind. I love how despite it being a 300+ page book, it was a very quick read and it had me on the edge of my seat once the story gained momentum. It wasn't really scary so I guess I would categorize this as more of a thriller than horror

I really liked this book and didn't see one specific part of the ending coming! having the pictures that Teddy drew was a super nice touch and I would definitely read more from this author!
