This was so fun! I mean, it was also very dark but it was so twisty and was truly a page turner. I really enjoyed our main character, and even if it was semi-predictable I still felt like it went in interesting directions. It was creepy and full of action, I was really impressed by this!

I typically don't read thrillers, but I was happy I picked this one up. I couldn't put it down! I feel H.G. Kane was a refreshing and unique antagonist, and he was unlike anything I expected going into this book. I also think the emphasis on grief was very powerful, and I shed quite a few tears toward the end. There were twists and turns, and although I  did predict a couple of the major plot points, how we got there was filled with twists and turns that I wasn't expecting!
