1.0

This book never hooked me. It reads like every Thriller I've read before with nothing to make it stand out. Also, I could have cared less for the documentary crew plot line which makes up the majority of the narrative. Looking up spoilers for the book solidified my decision. This book iust isn't worth the effort.

the atmosphere of this book was definitely chilling. there is mention of sexual assault & in another part it is hinted that a character was sexually assaulted. the ending made me feel like there should have been a bit more. it felt a little empty but it was enjoyable and creepy nonetheless
