5.0

This book horrified me and I'm obsessed. I love a good psychological thriller and this one was my favorite kind of scary. Malorie's journey through a world descending into madness was absolutely nail-biting and I'm not sure the last time I was so nervous while reading a book. This story was as tense and chilling as it was heartbreaking. I found myself wanting to cry for the pain of these characters and dreading to know what had happened that left Malorie alone. My only regret is that I didn't read it sooner.
