2.0
"The Memory Watcher" is definitely an intriguing, dark, and, mysterious read. The book's pace at the beginning was definitely slow, but it definitely starts building up and becoming more tense in the latter half.
There were some parts that I liked (foreshadowing of some later events and inner monologues of the characters) but for the most part, I wish it tied up more of the open plot points it made along the way. This would include Grace's behavior, the lotus necklace Autumn stole from Daphne, and Autumn's past (how she got pregnant with Grace and her life before becoming "Autumn"). Although I'm not sure how realistic the plot twist was, it definitely made sense in the end, especially after all the foreshadowing given.
(There was also a small typo in my copy of the book, where it referred to one character as another, making it a bit confusing. Although I'm not sure if this is the publisher's fault as I got this book secondhand.)
