This book was not at all what I expected, but sometimes in a good way. What started out as concerning became confusing and then downright eerie… it definitely kept me on my toes.
However, by the time things really felt like they were ramping up, it was ending.

This novel was more social horror than thriller. Normally I enjoy social horror, but this didn’t quite work for me. The pacing was too slow, the characters felt flat, and the premise wasn’t fleshed out nor did it make much sense.

This was good! I did not see this coming. Happy to have come across this author. I can’t wait to read another one from her. It had a tiny hint of psychological thriller to it. No sexual content. Mild profanity. Characters were deceptive in a “No way is this happening!” kind of way.
