Mild spoiler alert: the ending was very lacking. We were left with so many questions and nothing was answered. The plot twist gives wtf vibes and not in a good way. We all like a good plot twist in a thriller but I would have preferred it if it stayed human. The first half of the book was very strong but towards the end, it just deteriorated. It felt like the author didn't know how to end it, rushed it and just haphazardly closed the book. There was so much potential for a better ending and so many things that could be fleshed out but ultimately I think the author ran out of ideas.
