Honestly this was entertaining but it was also kind of boring at the same time. Nothing thrilling really happened so I kept wondering like what was gonna happen and what was the point. But the ending I did not see coming at all and I was shocked. I don’t know if I necessarily like it but I didn’t see it coming so there’s that.

I want to give this book a bad review, but why, just because the ending made me cringe? The book was fantastic! It kept me really engaged and I NEEDED to know all their secrets! This book deserves 4 stars maybe even 4.25!  I was fooled the whole book and then that ending 🤯. I did not see it coming. 

I wouldn’t recommend this book to everyone, but if you enjoy psychological thrillers this is a book for you.

Absolutely loved the beginning of this book! I had no idea where the story was going but I was enjoying it and the characters. 

Once I started to get the little hints of supernatural I was a little put off but I am glad I continued. I guessed some parts of the ending, but that last chapter of the book blew my mind! I do think many people will be disappointed by the ending as there were no real clues until right beforehand.

This book was an amazing psychological thriller with paranormal mixed in. I saw this show on Netflix and decided to buy the book and neither was disappointing and the tv show was kept true to the book. With the surprise plot twist at the end I would happily recommend this fast paced read to anyone who loves a good psychological thriller with a paranormal twist.
