It was an interesting plot and I enjoyed listening to the audible, but it was just too slow for my liking. There was not a whole lot of excitement or thrills throughout the book

 So this book was... interesting.

It was good, don't get me wrong, but I definitely think it was overhyped. I didn't guess the twist but the moment you introduce supernatural/fantastical elements to a thriller I stop paying attention to how the author can outsmart me. It's fantasy, a fucking dragon could've dropped out of nowhere and I would've been like "guess that's happening now". 

I still had fun reading it. It was good at being what it was: a thriller. However, I don't think it was as good as everyone made it seem.

This book was an amazing psychological thriller with paranormal mixed in. I saw this show on Netflix and decided to buy the book and neither was disappointing and the tv show was kept true to the book. With the surprise plot twist at the end I would happily recommend this fast paced read to anyone who loves a good psychological thriller with a paranormal twist.

 This book is absolute nonsense, everybody is ridiculous and could use an extra brain cell (except maybe, Adele, who seems to have a galaxy brain take on life). The ending is so ludicrous it made me laugh out loud.

I did have fun reading, though, I guess that's all you can ask.
