I liked this book but really only once I was already halfway through. I felt the first half moved slowly and I struggled to stay interested. However, it quickly picked up the pace and I struggled to put it down. I think the twist was good,
kept the characters relatively redeemable and it wasn’t as scary as I sorta expected
