4.5 ⭐️ - Dark, disturbing, and the fact that it’s based on a true story makes it 10x more terrifying. Definitely a nail biter that kept me turning the pages. I loved the 80s references- very nostalgic for me. I wish the ending hadn’t felt quite so rushed though. I think this one will stick in my mind for a long time. Oh, and there is an epilogue that the author chose to remove from the book, but I’d recommend reading it after finishing the book.
