I quite liked this one. Riley is becoming a great go to thriller author. I know I'll get a well wrapped up happy ending along with all mysterious plot points explained. This one was intriguing from the start, I loved trying to figure it out from the beginning and thinking it's going one way only to find it's going somewhere else. I enjoyed the ride.

Did NOT expect this book to end up where it did! Very suspenseful and thrilling, a good spooky-season read. 
I think my only critique is that it took a little longer than anticipated to get into the really thrilling parts of the book. It kinda felt like it was all just unconnected, weird occurrences until about halfway to three quarters of the way through. I think I would have liked things to happen a little quicker, but we got there eventually and boy oh boy…
