Welp, I didn't see that coming in the best kind of way. What ever you thing is going to happen, is wrong and I love it.

There's something about this that is off that's why I deducted a star. But, I liked how fast paced and exciting this is. The characters were sick and delusional which was interesting. The narrator was unreliable! Lol. I hate when that happens; why are you lying to me? 😝 Anyway, this was fun.✨

This was a good one! I thought it was kind of slow but had so many smaller plots within the big plot that it kept my interested. Oh my goodness the ending was something I never saw coming! I kept trying to figure out the twist but never imagined what actually happened, even though after I found out, it seemed obvious! It was a very sinister ending…
