I'm PISSED. First of all, I didn't know there was a supernatural element to this, but I can be fine with it if it explains a bit of the plot but the rest makes sense. It wasn't the case here. I truly enjoyed most of the book, I was hooked and I wanted to read it all the time. However, I found the resolution to be lazy (I usually don't like when thrillers have these magical supernatural solutions) and nonsensical (a character that supposedly died in a car crash was stabbed several times and nobody noticed?) and I HATED the epilogue. It made no sense, as well as what happened to some characters. I'm mad because I was enjoying it so much and then it all came crashing down.
