This book is another CoHo book all in its own category. I’m still not totally sure what I just read. Definitely the strangest book I’ve ever read. Some of my thoughts as I was reading went like this…

wtf
Do I want to continue reading this?
This is the strangest book I’ve ever read.
Layla needs an exorcism.
I’ve never giggled at a book labeled as a thriller.
I think this will be a 2 or 3 star read.
*sort of guessed the twist shortly after last thought*
Is this book almost over?
*reads a few reviews on good reads*
*cannot process my thoughts*
HA! I knew it.
oh, wait. I was SO CLOSE!
Pg.255…it could end here and I would be satisfied
Well that got really fast paced all of a sudden
Definitely didn’t think it would end like that.

So, I guess if you want a book to confuse you and make you have many reactions, read this?

P.S. I still don’t know how to feel.

Plot development utterly tiresome. No likable characters, couldn't think of one thing to keep me going with this book other than a reading sprint with my book group.

I honestly forget what this book is even about without some nudging on the topic. Dire.

I’m not normally one for paranormal- and truthfully I didn’t know that what this was going to be- but Colleen Hoover did a great job as usual. It took me a couple chapters to realized the narrative was going between 2 different times, but I loved the style. The last half got tense, emotional, and heart felt all at the same time.

I know that if I have to go dump the entire plot to my husband before I even finish the book that it’s a five star read for me. It gave the creepy crawlies just like Verity and, maybe I’m clueless, but the mystery had me stumped like the whole time. Even at the end I was so afraid that a spirit was just tricking him. Such a unique story, beautifully written, no notes!
