I loved Noemi. She’s fierce and bright and a force of nature. The author weaves this story well. I hate to say it, but I started to doubt Noemi in the middle. It got me too. The story gets a tad slow right in the middle, but the ending is like rolling down a steep hill. I was right on the edge of my seat. And most importantly, it ends hopeful.

The Idea was good 
But 
Implementation wasn't
Maybe coz I have watched a series based on the same concept that's why maybe I didn't like it much 
.
But the three stars is coz she thought of it and implemented it 
.
And 
She was writing like she was explaining it to naive people
Like to someone who is new to thriller or horror
It was slow 
Couldn't grab out attention
.
Just finished it coz we were curious
