Un excelente thriller psicológico. Para una tarde lluviosa acompañada de una cena ligera... para no tener pesadillas.

It was really good at building suspense but idk that the suspense really lead anywhere. I sure read it though I guess.

I’ve been asking myself for the last few days why on earth I read this book. To say that I did not like it is the understatement of the year.  I honestly have no idea why I didn’t DNF it.  I’m not sure if it was a bad translation, or just weird writing, but it was the most 90s feeling book I’ve read in a while.  
 
Was this book a thriller or a horror?  Mostly, it was a slow burn to the strangest scene I’ve ever read…. But not in a good way.   I’m looking forward to returning this to the library, so that it can bother someone else.
