Another fantastic book. This series is one of my absolute favorites. It was really nice to be back in the Moors, but sad since we probably won't be going back.

I would say this is almost more of a family drama than a thriller. I found the serial killer aspect to be lacking. I wanted more killing as weird as that sounds!

Wow this was unsettling! I'm a fan of haunted house horror, but add in AI and it might be too much?! 😆 AI is so creepy!

This book was bizarre and intriguing. I never knew what was going to happen next, but never really sure what was going on, either. I think this will be the perfect book for a very specific person, and that person was not me. It wasn't bad by any means. The writing was fantastic! The characters were so interesting and full of surprises. The plot line just wasn't for me. Glad I read it though.
