I really enjoyed how this book was written. It switches back and forth between the perspective of Maggie Holt, who inherits the home her family fled from when she was 5 years old, and the book her father wrote about the events that occurred there. The book has had a significant impact on her life, and the way this book is written is a really fun way to unravel the story.

A lot of twists were pretty predictable, but the format made them less annoying. This was a quick read, with short alternating chapters making it hard to put down.
