This book was not my favorite. I think the author was trying to do something with the narrative, and while I respect that, it just wasn’t my cup of tea. The writing was fine, but there was a lot going on and nothing going on all at the same time.

It is an interesting book. I'm still not sure if I have quite wrapped my brain around what happened or how. I also wasn't familiar with the Borden murders so I did some digging on that part too, which maybe makes me question myself even more.

It sure is a mystery though! At least for me, it still kind of is. What to believe? Nothing? 

It definitely had parts when I couldn't put it down but then there were times when I had the urge to skim read past the pages. 
I'm not sure what I think about the characters. They are well written, sure. Because I can't make up my mind about them! 

All in all it is a good YA mystery to read. I don't think I'd label this as a horror though. Yes, it involves murder but that doesn't make it horror, right? Well, anyway. I think this will forever remain as a mystery to me, I'm not smart enough to figure it out.
