I enjoyed this book. I think the characters were great, and I especially liked Henry. From the very beginning, it was super creepy, which is what I look for in a good thriller. I liked the potential of a paranormal element to the story as well and think that was done well. The small details that were included in order to make the point clear were well chosen. I also found the flashbacks from many characters over what happened the day Billy went missing intriguing, and they didn’t feel like they drew me out of the present-day story at all.
