4.5

This book was such a good, fast horror story. It was easy to jump right in. The story was extremely interesting and really picks up starting on page one. I never felt like there was a dull moment. It was easy to follow but wasn't so simple that it was boring. However, I will say that I would've liked a bit more background on our main character. It almost seems unrealistic that the main character would
forget absolutely everything about her life before. The character was eight years old and even with the abuse, it seems that she would have at least remembered something.
In conclusion, I really loved this book and found myself feeling totally spooked!
