This book fell so incredibly flat. I was so hopeful. The writing was gorgeous but the plot and pacing ruined it. This wasn't even horror. It was a Thriller at MOST.

Too wordy!! I’ve read 30 pages but nothing has even happened yet! Just paragraphs on paragraphs of set-up and descriptions. I wanted to like it—the imagery was very real. But it needs to be edited severely to work for a horror story like this.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this book!
This books was enjoyable but not remarkable for me. I enjoyed the POV changes but not the constant back and forth of the night’s timeline. The plot twist I didn’t see coming but it was somewhat anticlimactic. The villain character felt flat to me. I would read more from this author and look forward to future books. Overall a good debut, in my opinion.
