I think this book was marketed wrong…
This is not a thriller? I was expecting spooky time, but was met with character having logical reasoning to get out of the spookyness.
If this was marketed as a mystery with sci-fi elements I think that would have worked a lot better?
I’m left with a lot of questions, but that could be due to me speed reading at the end.
I still enjoyed the book, but I was left with a meh taste afterwards. I don’t feel like I ever truly get to know these characters, they each just have quirks to them and there were moments that were trying to dig deeper into emotional connections between the characters, but were cut short by random apologies?
I don’t really know. It was good, just wish it was sold to me in a different way than it was.
