This ended up being such a great book! I admit that the beginning was very slow and I was a bit apprehensive, especially because I didn't feel super connected to the characters (which always happens when the main character/s are men over the age of 30). But then it really picked up, the mystery was very creepy and engaging, and there were multiple reveals throughout the second half of the book that I thought were really well done and kept me engrossed in the story. By the end, I really felt for these characters and all that they've been through! And I did NOT guess the final reveal, which was quite shocking to me but it also made sense and didn't entirely come out of left field. 

I do think Amanda's POV was kind of unnecessary as it didn't add much to the story, and I definitely wish the beginning had been more eventful because I was bored for the first little bit, but all that aside, this was a great book! Looking forward to more from Alex North in the future.
