Had some great plot moments, but weak dialog and mid tier ending - feels a bit like the author spent too much time on the middle and set up and not on the ending, but enjoyable enough

greatly enjoyed the pace of the story, the plot, and the two different timelines coinciding. though it was pretty predicitable, it was enjoyable and i read through it in one day.

murder, paranormal activity, and violence against women are main themes. rape is mentioned several times as well as some mentions of cancer. there are brief instances of homophobia and sexism. pedophilia is implied as well.
