4/4.5 stars
This was a really good read! Sure I think there were some things that I wasn’t the hugest fan of, but overall it was fantastic. A definite step up from Mary, which I already really enjoyed. I think the book being much shorter than Mary really helped it not feel like it was getting slow or drawn out as much as Mary did. I think having multiple POVs helped give this book more variety than having the POV be strictly inside Mary’s head (which I know was critical to the plot of Mary). This book reminded me a lot of Lock Every Door by Riley Sager, but it felt like a more well rounded, mature version. Overall a fantastic story!

Was a fun horror read. Parts of it were genuinely scary. The characters internal monologues got boring at times though, it seemed to be a lot of the same complaints over and over and it got old.
I won't spoil anything, but I personally found the ending a bit lackluster. Honestly the best parts of this book are the scares that happen in the body of the book. Creepy energy throughout.
If you like a spooky novel in a modern setting, you'll enjoy this book.
