I was really into it until I wasn't. If the whole possession part had been left out and I would have loved it. The other twists were believable. Either that or write the possession in a different/better way? I almost DNF and I have never done that before!

This book left me haunted for a few days. I definitely didn’t think it would take the turn it did. There were some things I seen coming but definitely not the big twist.

I really liked the premise of the book and the fact that Katherine and Elin were good characters. The paranormal activity was out of the blue and did not fit the storyline. Overall, it was a good book that had suspense and mystery.

Also, this is the woman in the window storyline but with paranormal activity.
