A twist I didn't expect. This is scary, tense, depressing, and I couldn't put it down. I appreciate the shift of point-of-views to keep you on your toes as well as to break up the really stressful parts.

I feel so bad for Michael!! And Alice too!! I wanted nothing but the best for the two poor kids.
