"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/4 I would’ve given up if it wasn’t for my book groups all saying to hang in there. For maybe half the book it is so strange and even offputting and then the twists begin and still nothing is what you think it is. I ended up loving it by the end."

"I saw so much hype for this book and honestly was a little wary of it, however, I ended up really enjoying this! The pacing could have used a little work, but the way the story unraveled was great. Psychological horror at its best. Don’t read the synopsis, I think it best going in completely blind! This hasn’t released to the US just yet, but you can order a UK copy from Bookdepository.com if you don’t want to wait until September! "

"3.5 star<br/><br/>Not going to lie I pretty much guessed this from the beginning. There were several indicators throughout the story. Still for some reason I couldn't put it down. Maybe it was the psychological thrill pushing me forward. Or possibly I just wanted to be proven right in the end. Either way I enjoyed the story and the explanation was very interesting. Not much more I can say about this without giving something away."

"A creepy page turner with an ending you'll never see coming. Can't recommend this enough. "
Brian Walborn
"This was such a good book. The perspectives in the book are odd, and I enjoy the psychology of it. It is the kind of enjoyment watching a murder documentary. It's just amazingly dark. I was not expecting the twists and I am solidly impressed. "

"I absolutely loved this book. I won't give any spoilers, but seeing myself represented in this book (in an actual positive light for once) meant a lot to me. Highly recommend. "

"This was one of my favorite books I can recall reading. The audible edition is brilliantly performed I thought. The writing is very vivid and captured my imagination. I liked the non linear plot and at every turn I kept changing my mind about what was really happening. How interesting!"
Lori Schwartz
"What a waste of time!"
Dee
"I loved this book, the twist got me!"
Amanda Coleman
"I can’t say a lot about this book without spoiling it, but wow!
I went through so many emotions and thought processes while reading this. I hated and loved every single character.
The multiple POVs, the attention to tiny details that slowly uncover the truth and the multiple twists… it was all beautifully written and put together.
Behind what seems like a horror story hides the protagonists’ secrets, trauma, and much MUCH more.
I loved every confusing, strange, dark minute of it.
If you read it, please read the author’s afterword too!"
