5.0

At first, it reads like a slow-burn psychological thriller in YA style, but bit by bit this story becomes even more sinister.

Somehow Blake makes the ending explicitly predicted by the characters in the novel into a completely unpredictable ending.

Might want to read this one with the lights on; you probably won’t sleep tonight.
