This book was so disjointed - too many characters, not enough character development. At times I was so bored, I skimmed paragraph after paragraph, not missing much. The climax was lackluster. Bottom line, I couldn't wait to finish this book, so I could start another and forget it.

While this book had a storyline that kept me wondering, it fell flat for me. I don’t care for the information dumps and the way it is written is a lot to try to keep up with.

I enjoyed this book, I just thought the ending was a little rushed. An epilogue or one more chapter based weeks/months later would have been great!

This was a bit irritating because it was clear you knew who was behind things the rest of the book was just clarifying it. Not the best.

For a book marketed as a 'haunting thriller' it wasn't that 'thrilling'. This did make it an easy read as it wasn't stressful.

The two key storylines and multiple POVs were blended well, I find many authors struggle to do this so seamlessly.

I found there were way too many characters in this book to keep track of, so I often found myself confused as to who we were talking about and how they fit into the bigger picture.

Too many loose ends were left at the end. But it was an enjoyable reading experience
