This book's plot in the excerpt seemed really good but what I actually read was dull.
There could have been only a few directions this book could have taken, out of which one of them was how the book ended. There were only two times I was shocked at the twists but after that it got very dry.
The too-many POVs were confusing and unnecessary because I felt that it took the focus away from the present happenings/chapter of the book. There was a lot of going back and forth so it could potentially make readers annoyed to piece them together.
Although, I have to say that the twists were really unexpected so this book fulfilled that element. But it is not scary or spooky, you can still sleep without the lights on after reading.
