I loved the book and got through it so quickly, I could barely put it down.

The ending was disappointing to me though, I think it should have been longer. I don't mind leaving the mystery a bit open-ended but I think they could have written a bit more from Josie's perspective in the epilogue.

Good book! It keeps you reading bc you want to know what is true and what isn’t. It is very disturbing and creepy/unsettling as Josie shares her story and as Alix learns the truth. Kind of disappointed that Josie is never found/caught. But the book ends well! It’s interesting how the story moves along between how it actually unfolded. , recording the podcast and the Netflix show. It is a dark book with some very violent and disturbing scenes, some parts are kind of underdeveloped (like Brooke and Roxy or Erin and Roxy), but the story moves along well. I would recommend this one

Wow! Every single time you think you have this story sorted out you turn the page and realize you have it all wrong. Even until the very last page, everything continued to change and turn. What a ride!
