I absolutely devoured this book. Spooky, creepy, and thrilling atmospheric writing. Characters are flawed but real; they feel authentic and brutally honest. I loved every moment of the plot. Also — that ending was a little shocking but I enjoyed it along with everything else. A beautifully written story. Multi POVs and timeline jumps did not get bogged down with facts, it felt smooth and cohesive in the most puzzle like way.
