QUICK AND SWEET REVIEW:

I am so torn about how to rate this book.

On one hand, I absolutely love the atmosphere, the legend surrounding their town, and mystery behind what has been going on between these character. However, my issue stems from how I often have to back read a lot of things to understand what was going on. A large part of the book left me confused and wondering what the hell was going on.

I’m a bit hot and cold with the characters as well. I’m not exactly sure if I liked anyone of them. They added new characters towards the end of the book which actually

Don't get me wrong, I am super invested in the story. But I guess my issue was how it was written. There were flashbacks sprinkled within the story that I can’t figure out whose POV it was or if it was from the past or from the present because it’s in a narration of a certain character. It kinda made me feel so dumb.

FINAL THOUGHTS & RATING:

This book’s strength is definitely the sense of intrigue and mystery. I did not expect anything that happened towards the end of this book. I am excited to find out what will happen next.
