I thought it was fine. It definitely wasn't a thriller, but I liked how it all came together in the end.

The part when Ellie died in the basement disgusted me.

Near the end things got real weird, made me really uncomfortable, lol. PLEASE READ TW before picking up this book, y'all. I didn't, and I kinda regret it, lol.
