This book was like reading a Twilight Zone episode. It took way too long to get going; I almost gave up. But the last hundred pages ramped up the thrill! I definitely thought I saw the ending coming, but was pleasantly surprised. The ending almost redeemed the slow burn (pun aptly intended)I tended, but not quite. I wouldn't recommend.

I loved the idea of this book. The blurb sounded so good and I was so excited to read it but I ended up forcing myself to finish and I honestly wish I hadn’t.

This was weird. Like it was ok at first and it did get interesting, but I didn’t love how went. I also wish they made this scarier or more unsettling.
