Ngl. I’m not really a mystery novel kinda person but this was like… okay. A lot of repetition and Grady just being a whiny lil bitch chapter after chapter. Grady’s part in the twist at the end felt half-baked. I did like how it wrapped up even if pretty far-fetched… so the final act was probably the best part. The Abby chapters were honestly made more confusing after the twist started and we learned more about Kitty, perhaps that’s a fault of consuming this as an audio book. When there was suspense it was good. I liked the creepy elements of this book and Grady’s questioning of his reality and how it felt a little mystical at times.
