2.0

I would have given the initial premise of the book a much higher rating, however the ending destroyed any enjoyment I had out of the book. Firstly, the mystery is extremely obvious as to who it is, to the point where I was waiting for a plot twist that never came. 

Secondly, the ending was disgustingly graphic for no reason, I did not need to read what happened to her sister in such detail. Furthermore, every character is exactly as perceived from the time they are first introduced - if you are expecting development, hidden depths or anything, read a different book. The "grandma" like figure is horrible throughout and is horrible at the end too, the creepy older man, whilst creepier in a whole other way than expected, was still creepy and the mum was absolutely useless


I would like to forget I ever read this book.
