Night Film by Marisha Pessl
5.0
Mind fucking blown. I'm suppose to be at school by 6 am but it's already 7am and I hadn't had any sleep because of this awesome, mind boggling, emotionally rattling book. I'll probably skip school today and yes that's bad but I need rest. Lol

Never in my seventeen years of life have I ever read a book that made me freaking catatonic. I’ve never felt this way before, even when I finished reading Angels and Demons by Dan Brown but holy guacamole Night Film is one of the best books I’ve read this year.
The plot sounds simple, Scott McGrath is a disgraced reporter who decided to investigate the mysterious suicide case of Ashley Cordova, the beautiful daughter of a famous horror film director and creator Stanislas Cordova. During the chase he met two individuals Nora and Hooper who helped him figure his way out through the case. A lot of plotwists happened and a lot of them are so freaking unexpected.
Night Film turned from a factual and logical investigaton into a bizarre, voodoo related case and it was not the direction that I’m expecting the author to go through --but then anything that happened in this book are not to my expectations-- which is so freaking good by the way.
I’ve felt a lot of emotions while reading this novel and I stayed up for 26 hours to just finish it, not to mention skipped school (huh, bad girl, yeah). The author’s writing is suspenseful, hilarous and powerful. The back stories of the supporting characters are so well written and they have the power to make you feel a lot, especially what the characters felt at that moment.
This book ended Cordova style and it was mind boggling and maddening. I love it.
