It was interesting and I loved the twist but it ended abruptly and I didn’t have time to get emotionally invested in the character’s endings.

I really enjoyed this. It was very fast paced and I loved the allusions to Frankenstein and the creepy mental hospital. The whole time your wondering is it supernatural or not? I was expecting one of the twists to go the other way, so I’ll give the book props for that.
I think the ending was a little disappointing but I’m not sure how it could’ve been ended better. I’m looking forward to reading more by this author.
