I'm not typically one to get too caught up in social media hype over specific books, as I tend to just pick something based on whether or not it sounds good. But after reading The Fury recently and loving it, I jumped at the chance to grab this one when it became available at my local library. I'm really glad I did, and it's safe to say this book absolutely deserves all the hype it's gotten. The pace was a bit slow, but that actually added to the suspense and I found I didn't mind. I never saw the twist at the end coming until just before it was revealed, and I absolutely loved the ending. I look forward to reading more by this author in the near future!

This book kept me on my toes for it’s entirety. It is a mystery unlike any I’ve ever encountered, and there was a very unexpected twist towards the end of the story that shook my entire understanding of how the events of the story had played out, in a good way! This twist then made me look at everything leading to that moment in a new light, and then everything started clicking into place.

The Ending wow I did not expect I loved it really but the rest of the book? Did not interest me like 80% of the book I thought was kinda boring to me and I thought I would DNF it but the chapters are really short so it was easier to get through which was really the only thing that kept me going except the huge plot twist at the ending.
