Because the book is so short, it was definitely a page turner because I knew I could finish it quickly and the concept is really engaging. However, there really wasn't a twist. The end was predictable and didn't provide much surprise or relief. I did enjoy it though, not bad, not great.

This book is a quick read and will keep you captivated from the first page. If you get scared easily though, it may not be for you.
