Loved the setting, it felt very vivid, and the last chunk of the book really turned up the pace and had me rooting for the main character!
Some of the main character’s choices were VERY questionable, so some disbelief had to be suspended, but at least their choices were well written.
Would recommend for the casual thriller reader! Those who are obsessed with the genre I could see tearing into this book, buy I’m just hear for the spooky vibes.
Def curious to check out Sagers other work!

The main character was a bit dumb and remained dumb throughout till the very last 20% where she redeems herself (out of the blue!) and it sort of feels like whiplash cuz you don't expect her to become smart in 5 days.
It was not a horror book but the author had the ability to create a very haunted atmosphere.
