I honestly don't know what to say about this book, it starts off a bit slow and picks up around 120 or so pages in. At first I found it very interesting but the the plot takes a complete shift into a different realm and that's when it lost me. I don't mind a
paranormal
story, but when reading a mystery and the explanation for everything going on is suddenly
a ghost/possession
it feels very cheap.
