REVIEW:
I saw a lot of the bloggers that I routinely read had raved about this book so I decided to grab a copy.
I'm so glad that I did too! It was a slice of creepiness that I needed. I enjoy a mystery that is a bit of a mind twist, and this was definitely that!
I have one gripe though.
At times, mostly in the beginning, the viewpoints changed so fast I lost track of what was happening for a hot minute. Then I'd be like okay I see what's happening here... it just bummed me out that the transition between viewpoints wasn't more clear.
Other than that I loved it. I want to read more from this author too!
4.5/5

The book I'm listening to is like that for me. I couldn't keep track of who was who and what their connection was with the other characters. Finally when there was about 3 hrs. left it got easier. I'm almost finished and glad I didn't give up. The twist toward the end was worth all the confusion and I can't wait to see what the ending brings.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a great week!
Those books can be tough to get to the point where it starts to make sense. I'm glad I didn't give up on it, it was a good read. I wonder if your author and mine took the same writing class?! ;-)
DeleteHope you have a great week as well!
