I was pretty dang invested in this book and I really did like it. I was turning pages like crazy and was shocked at every twist. I really could not predict what was happening next. The only thing that dropped the rating on this book for me was the supernatural/possessed storyline it took on. It truly shocked me but it kinda pulled me out of the book and almost made it seem fake and crazy as well as just kinda weird. Also I didn’t really care for the characters really but ya know idk if you’re supposed to in thrillers lol. Did really enjoy this book though the entire way through!
