4.0

A slightly above average thriller! I was equally enthralled and perturbed by this book, though usually at different times. It was a one-day read for me, but there were definitely some plot points that I think were a bit too complicated. Like, there were like 7 threads of mystery to unravel, which was engaging but also I felt very confused as they were unrovelling together. I think the author could have had the climax of the book come a bit earlier, or lengthened the end to tie together some of the loose strings a bit better. While I did call the one villain
Cody!
I did NOT see the other plot twist coming! Some parts of this book were definitely not for the faint of heart, what with a human skeleton in the woods and the gore of multiple deaths and stabbings.
