A small town mystery thriller. The writing really pulls you in with its haunting atmosphere that was heightened by the eerie supernatural elements. I loved the slow build tension and suspense, and with so many secrets hidden in this small town, the ending was anyone's guess. Unfortunately, the reveals were kind of anticlimactic, especially after the intense build-up. Don't get me wrong, it was wrapped up nicely, but I was hoping for something more impactful. That being said, I still enjoyed the story. It had a strong narrative and was very immersive. Just wanted a little bit more at the end.
