For a thriller (which is not my preferred genre), I liked this. At times it felt a little convoluted because it was trying to keep all the big reveals until the final end twists, but it was a fast read so you still get the payoff sooner rather than later. It was a teeny bit too pro-cop for me at the beginning but they're ultimately not a huge part of the story. My fav part was easily the paranormal aspects!

I enjoyed the book but I'm getting tired of the "plot twist has something to do with a sibling" trope that has appeared in every book so far of this recent thriller marathon I'm on.
