This book started off great, very atmospheric with a sense of true terror. A spooky forest that seems to have a mind of its own with dangerous monsters you can't see? Careful reading at night! However, as the book BEGAN to end, the pacing grew odd and sluggish at times. I couldn't put this down in the beginning, but the end had me wishing the book was shorter.

I struggled to understand the character's motivations sometimes but loved reading about them nonetheless. This is definitely a combination of plot and character-driven as you are also focused on the plot itself.

I didn’t expect to like this as much as I did! The ending definitely wasn’t what I wanted but it is what it is. Can’t wait to see the movie based on this

It was pretty easy to figure out the twist early on, but the actual ending itself really took me by surprise.
