Wow! I was on the edge of my seat from pretty much the very beginning. So much of this made my skin crawl. Everything Connor and all the other kids go through at Nightlight was some of the most horrific, realistic nightmares I've ever read.
There are trigger warnings listed by the author on the first page, and I think that's so important to see and note.

i had been looking forward to this one, but it was such a disappointing read to me. the pacing is atrocious (am i seriously supposed to believe all of this happened in a day??), and the voice of the narrator is annoying. the plot revelations are far too contrived to be satisfying. the worst part is how much of a white savior the main character is.
