This book had so much potential. At first glance the plot seemed interesting but the characters fell flat for me. Especially the main protagonist. She’s the person who dies first in the most stupid way imaginable in horror movies. I don’t know how she even made it to adulthood. It was kind of laughable how bad the decisions she made were. The book dragged on yet the ending felt rushed. The motives for the murderer seemed really really far fetched. Actually, the motives for  most of the characters in this book were pretty ridiculous. I also really disliked the epilogue.
