Leah’s condition—akinetopsia, or motion blindness—adds a fresh and immersive perspective to the genre, making her a compelling narrator and fascinating protagonist. The book’s tension builds steadily as Leah becomes entangled in her neighbor Alice’s dangerous situation, and Correa does an excellent job of weaving in sensory details that heighten the suspense.

The novel is perfect for fans of Lock Every Door by Riley Sager or the twisty, character-driven mystery of Only Murders in the Building. However, while the premise is intriguing, the pacing is slow at times, and the story occasionally feels like it’s going in circles before finally reaching its conclusion. The ending, while fitting, felt abrupt and predictable, which lessened the overall impact.

That said, it's a solid and entertaining read that delivers plenty of suspense and psychological depth. If you love unreliable narrators, eerie atmospheres, and strong female protagonists, this one is worth picking up—just be prepared for a slower burn.
