I’m usually not too harsh when it comes to my book reviews, but this one was a tough read. It really dragged and put me into a reading slump, which usually never happens. There was really only one good twist that made me want to finish it, but that was after I was over halfway through with this book. I usually crave reading and can’t wait to get home to pick back up whatever I was reading the night before, but I honestly skipped reading most nights because of this book. I had to see it through until the end though. I enjoyed the premise of this book, but it was so slow, and so underwhelming for a book that was supposed to be a thriller.

This book was definitely a wild ride. It was very fast paced, and the atmosphere Swanson created definitely gave off creepy fall vibes. I’ve never read a thriller quite like this. It was dark, full of lies & secrets, and a somewhat satisfying ending. I did figure out part of the twist/plot about half way through, but I still enjoyed the book and there were things I definitely didn’t guess! Although this isn’t the BEST thriller out there, I still think it was good and definitely kept me on my toes and made me a little anxious at times (in a good way!), I needed to know what happened, and that’s all you can really ask when reading a thriller! Very entertaining and kept me on the edge of my seat.
