I read this in 2021.

It was a short book, which actually I found quite disappointing. It had me gripped pretty fast. I remember being a little confused at the end as I felt more story could have been written. But personally if you grip me you’ve done well as an author. 4 stars.

I loved the writing style and how well established the characters are in such a short story. This is perfect for a quick read! Is engaging and it doesn't feel like you're reading a short story. This would make a great movie. I loved it... I normally don't like open ended things but this one was the exception. It was open-ended but it really felt suitable. This short story is bizzare and feverish. Exactly my vibe.

Wonderfully twisted!

I’m giving this novella three stars simply because it wasn’t my exact cup of tea, but if you’re looking for something to read in one sitting that is humorous and will have your head spinning by the end, this is the book for you!!! It gives Death Note vibes.

I liked the book a lot! Was a good audiobook read. Gillian did a good job of making me a little scared, a little paranoid. Since this is the first of her books I've read, I will have to read more!

I needed this to be longer. It really sucked me in.

I found the premise/intro really entertaining, but it was all but abandoned about halfway through as a new (not as engaging, IMHO) plot line took over.
