First thing I will say, fantastic foreshadowing. How terrifying, slowly figuring out who did it, small clues clicking into place as you read on, what amazing delivery. The characters were well written and realistic, everything was so vivid. It wasn't as scary as I expected coming into it but I still really enjoyed it. I really recommend this, but be wary of the triggers!
