Rating: 3/5 stars
Case arrives in rural Texas to visit her friend…but gets sucked into a mystery when her friend is nowhere to be found.
I was super intrigued when I read the synopsis for this one, and it was a really interesting read. It was a relatively fast read, although I will admit that part of me wanted it to be longer because I wanted the characters to be developed a bit more. That said, I think the best part about horror is when it creates a creeping feeling of dread as you wonder what will happen next, and this book definitely had that in spades!
As a bonus, one of my all-time favorite mysteries is THE LIKENESS by Tana French, and this had some similar vibes, which was also super fun!
