Bookstagram seems pretty divided on this one. I have seen some people DNF it. Some have rated it very low, and others rave about it. I personally fall into the camp of people that loved it. Sure, it has its faults. Iβm not crazy about anything with paranormal elements (especially evil stuff), but I really enjoyed this novel. If I wasnβt such a chicken, I wouldβve finished it in less than 24 hours. But I am a chicken, so it took me a few days because I only listened when my husband was home. I canβt believe it is a debut novel! The story is gripping. The MC is very unreliable and doesnβt always make the best decisions. I was hooked and constantly holding my breath to find out what happened next. The author did an amazing job at creating the creepiest setting and making the reader question what is real. I have to give this 5-stars solely based on the fact that I will be thinking about this book for a long time. I actually plan on purchasing the physical copy and rereading it to see anything I missed (also as a trophy). π©ππ π©π¬ππ¨π© (π΄π±π°πͺππ¦π³ π§π³π¦π¦): My jaw was on the floor the entire book. Everything shocked me. I sat in silence for a good 5-minutes contemplating life when I was finished. Now that a few days have passed, I have a better grip on what happened. Needless to say, I was gaping out loud, clutching my pears, and holding on for dear life. π©ππ ππͺπππ€ππ€π€π : I donβt always love single narrator audiobooks (technically this has two), but this narrator was phenomenal. I felt like I was right there in the book with my heart pounding the entire time. There are various news articles and other materials referenced throughout the book. This was read by a second narrator in βnewscasterβ style, which really added to the overall creepy feel. LTKTravel LTKFindsUnder50 LTKWatchNow
