wow, i did not expect to like this one so much...i was worried about the whole pregnancy trope because i usually avoid it but it was not so relevant at the end and the story was really creepy/scary...def want to read other books from the author

*the rating is based solely on my emotional response.

This was a predictable read but predictability didn’t make it any less thrilling, though not in a pleasant way. In fact, it caused me too much distress. Please check the trigger warnings.
