This was an okay story that would have been much better without the romance part--that was incredibly unbelievable and for me sort of ruined the book.

This book had me hooked from the very start. It slowed down a bit in the middle but I was still at the edge of my seat wanting to know what was going on. I really enjoyed it because it was the perfect amount of eerie that I was looking for. I was able to predict the ending early on but I still enjoyed the journey to get there. The romance felt a little forced and unnecessary but it wasn’t too bad.
I listened to the audiobook and had to have it on double speed because the narration was super slow lol

It didn't take me long to figure out what the twist was going to be, but it held my attention all the way through.

“It just made me feel, in the pit of my stomach, that there was something about this place that was unwelcoming. That didn’t want me here.”
It was good. A good mystery that leaves you wondering what's going on. I had some parts figured out early on, but it was still a good read.
