i did not think i would enjoy this as much as i did. the characters were interesting and semi-flushed out (especially for a thriller). the plot was interesting, the twists and turns kept me guessing, and it was truly thrilling. i thought this was great to read in the winter.

I feel sick. The body horror was too much for me. But the twists were good. I won’t be traveling by myself any time soon after reading this.

The first 100 pages caught me off guard because I thought it was a mystery—not a thriller. That’s my fault, but once I realized that this wasn’t the world’s worst mystery, I read it in less than five hours.
