The premise of this one hugely intrigued me. As a self published author myself, I was drawn to this story having had a few bad reviews myself!

Overall, it was fast paced and towards the end threw in some pretty shocking twists I didn't see coming. The tension mounted throughout and I was excited to see where it was going.

However, I felt the middle of the book really lagged. Not a lot happened other than the repetition of creepy noises and the same sort of thoughts going through the MCs head. So I'm sorry to say I got a little bored but it then picked up at the end and ended with a bang!

I did guess a couple of things but boy was I shocked at one twist in particular!

Unfortunately, it fell a little flat due to the repetition and I found the jumping back and forth from author to MC a bit jarring.

Definitely will be trying other books by this author though!

Absolutely obsessed with this book. As an adult, I've read very few books that actually gave me goosebumps - this was one of them. I was creeped the fuck out!!! I adored the story and its plentiful twists, and Emma is one of my favorite MCs in a long time.

I genuinely got emotional reading the last three pages of this one. Looks like I'm a Taylor Adams stan

I don't know what I expected but this was not as good as I expected. I feel as though if it was 50 - 100 pages shorter I would have liked it more. I listened to the audiobook and at the 50% point I was tired of the story and ready for it to end, but I kept going. When I was at the 75% point I just wanted the story to be over. I did finish it, but it has me thinking that this author may not be for me.
