I enjoyed that the story didn't take long to set up the premise and jump into the action right away. The ending was unconventional and yet I still enjoyed it.

What the hell was that ending?? Feels like Preston just didn't know how to finish it. Low effort and weird.

First read from Natasha Preston and I loved it! Would recommend to anyone looking for a good quick mystery/thriller read! (Next on my list is the Haunting.)

OH. MY. UNHOLY. GOD! This book blew me away, just like all of Natasha Preston’s other books. Her thrillers are to die for and I love the endings usually! This one I wasn’t a huge fan of but no harm no foul. I am obsessed!

It was a bit relative which made it hard for me. But don't listen to everyone on the ending. Just stop if you want to.
