The Tenth Girl by Sara Faring

2.0

I'm very torn on how to rate this book. The writing was very good and the concept of the story was very interesting. I was super enjoying the spooky vibe for the first 75% of the book. But the 'twist' at the end just did not work for me. There was no foundation for it at all in the rest of the book. Maybe I just missed it, but I expected to be reading a horror/thriller and was enjoying it when that's what it was. When it took a hard ride into scifi a la The Matrix I felt kind of duped and it did not mesh well with the rest of the story. I also spent a solid half of this book thinking POV character Angel was a girl when in fact Angel is a guy. So I must have missed a lot about this story in general? All I know is that I'm bummed this story didn't work out for me because so much about it and the writing was super solid.
