Well this was a heartbreaking and fantastic read. Unlike any of the horror books I've read thus far. It played out like an incredibly well done psychological horror movie in a good way. Took me almost until it was revealed to work out the twist and the ending just ripped my heart out. Not as graphic as I was expecting but the actual plot is where the horror lies. So so good.
