mysterious tense

3.5

 I have mixed feelings about this one. I was hooked from the first page and flew through this one. It kept me on the edge of my seat guessing the outcome of the book. Well, the outcome was weird. I'm not happy with the ending. I can't tell you how I would have liked the book to end but the way it did was so unsatisfying. It felt too far-fetched with too many plot holes in my opinion. I had a hard time rating it. The ending would probably get a 2/5⭐ but everything else was a 5/5⭐.
There is a scene of an explicit birth and it was so hard to get through it. Please check trigger warnings before diving into this book!
If you have read it let me know how you like it! Because of the ending I think I would not recommend it, because for me it was not worth it.

Took my time through the first half, and read the second half in one sitting! The change in timeline and POV took some adjustment. I liked a lot of the twists, but there were some plot holes I couldn't get past. The ending left me totally bewildered! I don't usually read this genre for the same reason I avoid crime dramas; I'm sensitive to certain content. However, I appreciated how the story was told without much graphic detail.
