This was a very, very strange book. I was expecting a normal psychological thriller or another normal murder mystery. Instead, this was a really deep dive into childhood trauma, psychosis, and how the mind finds ways to cope. The protagonist is insanely easy to sympathize with and all of her actions align easily with her past and her illness. Everything in this book makes sense, which is so much easier said than done.

It’s a deep dive into psychosis that feels so real. Cassie’s life and imagined details are so vivid and its always clear exactly where they stem from. The Faerie world in this book is so rich and scary. Not going to lie, it really freaked me out. This book was scary, deep, and I flew through it. Overall, I really, really liked it.
