I kept thinking the book was done but they kept adding more and more to it- I loved all of the twists and turns. However, I didn't enjoy the end. I felt like the author could have done a bit more with it, adding one last little twist. It ended up falling a little flat for me.

What?! This book was intense! Modern comparable to Jane Eyre. I really liked it. But the language was why I only gave it four stars.
I listened to the audiobook of this and actually found it really enjoyable. This is the 3rd book I've read by Rachel Hawkins and although they're fun to read, they all feel pretty forgettable. Nothing really sticks out that makes it special, it's just another thriller
Pretty good! Was a retelling of Jane eyre so I enjoyed it. Perfect read during this time of year. Creepy and the characters were written so well with the perfect amount of mystique to them.
This was twisty and interesting, but honestly kinda predictable and full of horrible characters.
3.5 stars — the plot twists in this were jaw-dropping. I haven’t read Jane Eyre since high school, but I remembered enough about it. And honestly if you haven’t read JE, you can still read this, you just won’t recognize any of the Easter eggs!
The first half of this was slow, and I was also ANNOYED at Jane for being like “oh cool I barely know you LET’S GET MARRIED” like c’mon girl.
The shifting POVs of Jane and Bea, and then Eddie at the end were so good — I’m not a huge fan of shifting POVs but I felt like this was done so well and I never felt discombobulated or annoyed with the switch.
The end was wild. I can’t believe this Eddie thought that it would be fine to keep Bea/have her declared legally dead. NO BIG DEAL. And at the end, all I wanna say is FUCK YEAH, JANE! I really liked the Jane/Helen Burns tie in as well.

Don’t have much to say but it was fine! Kept my interest and was certainly an interesting story.
