I didn’t expect to like this as much as I did! The ending definitely wasn’t what I wanted but it is what it is. Can’t wait to see the movie based on this

It was pretty easy to figure out the twist early on, but the actual ending itself really took me by surprise.

This was so much fun omg. I loved the concept and it was so perfectly eerie. The pacing could’ve maaaybe been a little better but it didn’t really detract from my enjoyment at all. The ending left me wanting for a lot more though 😭 I’m so glad the yellow one existed in this universe, it was the sweetest touch and made me happy in moments that were really tense

A fantastically creepy, chilling story.  It's a great one of you want something thrilling without gore ir body horror.  I really love a modern book that adds in twists of folk lore. Some things in the plot you can see a mile off but it does not negate from the fantastic story.
