This was decent. I'm trying to expand the types of genres I read and Thriller/Mysteries are interesting to me. This was a good start to getting into that genre. Not too scary but had enough mystery and spookiness to keep me interested. I enjoyed switching between Viv's experience in 1982 and Carly in 2017. Seeing them both come to the same conclusions and working towards the same goal was fun.
However, it did feel a bit boring at times. The story itself didn't feel unique or different. And I didn't love how it ended, I wish Viv's story didn't end that way.
