Holy cannoli that got my heart racing! When I first picked this up I knew there was going to be some stalking, that it would get a little dark, but otherwise I went in completely blind and I'm so glad I did. The way the plot unravels and you finally get a glimpse of the twist is honestly a masterpiece.
Not only was the plot incredible, but the explicit parts are well written and realistic, which is a good thing, I promise.
her being the ghost that's haunting her own house made my jaw fall open and it didn't shut until I was finished. The end picks up speed quite quickly which really mirrors what is happening in Kayla's head beautifully and the overlap of past/present/future is done so well. Once you know what to look for the clues are all there and I just can't get over it.
