Holy dayamn! This was good! I know reviews are subjective, but I honestly don't know how anyone could give this one less than 4 stars! It was so thrilling! It was fast paced, gripping, emotional, intense, and unique! I finished it in one day. Maybe it was due to the bomb ass narrator, maybe it was the writing itself, or maybe it was both, but I couldn't stop listening to it! 

The characters were so fleshed out, and I got so attached to most of them, especially Madison! Man, what a firecracker she was! I loved her the most, but all the characters just fit so well and were effortlessly flawed, realistic, and diverse.

And that plot! Man. I was not expecting that shocker. It was a very quirky plot twist that just worked and made this horror/thriller so intriguing. This was a refreshingly satisfying one sitting kind of page turner!
