A wild twist on the unreliable narrator. Definitely recommend the audio, which is fully sound edited to sound like the podcast/documentary series at the center of this story, with a full cast.

holy shit… i don’t even know where to start with this book. first of all, just the amount of twists and turns and different ways that I thought this book was gonna go and none of them was what actually happened. I still don’t even know what I think the truth actually is. if you can, I recommend listening to this on audiobook so hard it is such an immersive experience and this book is perfect on audiobook and it really gives you the full experience that I don’t know if I would’ve gotten if I physically read it. Overall this was an amazing read!!!

I don’t remember the last time I read a book this fast, but I couldn’t bear not knowing what was going to happen next! The tension & pacing of the plot were so well done, and it kept me guessing  until the very end. It was such an insane & twisty story, but I wish the ending was a bit more resolved. Overall, a great creepy, mysterious thriller!
