engrossing read, dark and scary. the altering flashbacks were too confusing for me to both keep up with or care about. sometimes felt like the story was doing too much, but enjoyable fast read

This book has some captivating moments! Still, it didn't make up for the countless pages that felt like filler. I made it a little over halfway through the book before putting down for good. I love the core narrative--the book would benefit a lot from focusing solely on that, rather than throwing in unnecessary chapters and side stories that have no immediate connection to the overall theme of the book.

By far the worse book I've ever listened too!!!! I still don't get it and I thought it'd never end. How can a book not come full circle!!!!

I thought this book was going to be a thriller and keep me engaged. However, all I got was a huge disappointment. I couldn’t even finish because it was all over the place. The author was trying to execute but fell short.
