Some decisions made my the FMC in this book frustrated me but other than that, this book was a great read. I love the twist near the end. The way it ended never crossed my mind. I love how despite it being a 300+ page book, it was a very quick read and it had me on the edge of my seat once the story gained momentum. It wasn't really scary so I guess I would categorize this as more of a thriller than horror

That twist though. I definitely did not see it coming at all. And I’m honestly not sure how I feel about it. A part of me wants to save bravo, so unique, but the other half wants to say wow how messed up is that! I enjoyed the incorporation of drawings and the mix between psychological/supernatural thriller. There were parts that absolutely gave me goose bumps, and I’ve never had a book do that to me before. So overall, it was a fun ride, and very unique. I enjoyed it. Just not sure how I feel about that ending quite yet.
