This book gets a solid a. It truly had me scared shitless at the end. I'll tell you, my heart was beating faster than it ever had. The story itself was unbelievably creepy, but then you take into account the fact of the ending. I had a million thoughts racing through my head at the end. It ended with me thinking that yes, Verity is actually a psychopath as her letter to Jeremy was too strange to be the truth. Her story just didn't add up. Then there's Lowen, who at first, I loved. She seemed super smart and just like she wasn't easily fazed. I thought I would end up loving her character. BUT, right when she entered the Crawford house, I felt like she had a split personality. She was immediately not working and just began snooping through Verity's stuff. Then she became super attached to married man Jeremy. There was also the fact that she suddenly became scared at the whole situation, which isn't neccesaryily a problem, just something I wasn't expecting from her. Idk. Either way, I loved the story, it just wasn't the best thriller I've ever seen. Don't get me wrong, I loved this book, it met my expectations even, but it just didn't exceed them to get a higher rating. Every character was white, which I guess is exceptable in a thriller with crazy characters, but still incredibly noticable. Overall, I great book. I will truly remember this book.
