I GREATLY enjoyed this book! The only reason I gave it a 4.5 is due entirely to personal preference. I don’t love reading books that incorporate the pandemic, although I see the value in using it as a backdrop or even a plot device. I just personally don’t enjoy reading about it, which slightly knocked down my enjoyment of the book, but it was not mentioned often enough to be a real nuisance, thankfully.
This book was definitely dark and deeply challenging on multiple levels. I thought I had it figured out about halfway through the book but I ended up being wrong, which was a pleasant surprise/shock when I read the true ending!
This author is clearly skilled at writing suspenseful, eerie, and mysterious books. I found myself growing uncomfortable and nervous at several points while reading. The atmosphere of the story is impeccable.
I loved this book!
