3.25

The book isn't really scary but enough for me to feel anger towards some characters. I genuinely hate Rebel/Ray with everything I have. The book gets pretty graphic so checking the tags is a must.

It had a VERY slow start. I understand why some people didn't pushed through with it. But halfway through the book there was a change of pace and it got me intrigued into finishing it. If you don't feel intrigued halfway through, maybe the book isn't for you. The final quarter of the book was fast paced and I'm actually glad I finished it. 

I only gave it 3.25 stars cause I kinda liked the ending but I know I won't be rereading it.

I recommend this if you've been reading thriller for a long time or you're fine with slow pacing. But if you're looking for popcorn thrillers, this isn't it.
