This book was creeeeepy as heck !!! I really enjoy a book with different POVs and plots that all come together in the end..

*SPOILER*
I wasn’t shocked at the reveal of Lucy being Libby’s mum but I also didn’t guess it? I just hadn’t thought about it to be honest… 

 But anyway the book was a wild ride and I enjoyed a lot. The cliffhanger was a good ending and ideal that there is a second book to read but I would also be happy to stay not knowing what happens next.

This really had me hooked from start to finish. I do think it got a bit convoluted at times but still enjoyed it.
