dark emotional hopeful mysterious tense

finished in 2 days flat!! what a fun mystery to watch unravel. a main character with her own problems and secrets to uncover, a little girl that is portrayed as alternately creepy and terrified (and written very well in both perspectives), and the way the two of them mirror one another. hopeful resolution.

A creepy little book. It's been a long time since I've read a book that I couldn't put down. The story progressed well and the suspense was well-crafted. Maybe it helped that that I find small children a little bit creepy already. I knew there would be a plot twist at the end, because the story was  being led in a certain direction at such an early stage. But this kind of red herrings and "huge" plot twist belongs to the detective thriller books of today.

This was pretty predictable but overall engaging. I am sure I’ll forget it by tomorrow.
