3.0

Small Spoilers are in this review

about half way through this book I wanted to DNF as I was not comfortable reading about the emotional and later physical abuse within the story. Curiosity though compelled me to keep reading. 
By the time I got to ending I wanted a happy ending for Layla but I disliked Leeds so much that it ruined the story

Overall I liked the concept but I couldn't rate it higher than 3⭐️

After Verity this kinda fell flat for me. The set up for this book led me believing it was heading down a similar path (gripping, realistic, psychological thriller) so the paranormal element threw me. Probably my fault for not reading the synopsis and going in blind. Despite this I couldn’t put it down - but the ending and main character Leeds sucked.
