Oh my god I finished this in 5 hours in 2 literal sittings? I have never read a book this quickly??

Wow, this has gotta be the most in captivating and gripping book I’ve read all year. Following Millie in this bizarre yet strange house with people who are not what they seem was so fun and interesting. I definitely want to continue reading about Millie in the next book.

The ending was great and the plot twists did get my jaw dropping though I did figure them all out, even if it did take me some time. I guess the best way to explain the multiple plot twists is that they weren’t extremely hard to guess but it was still very satisfying seeing them actually play out.

I thoroughly enjoyed this and although it’s not 5 stars (that’s really just because I can’t bring myself to rate mysteries/thrillers 5 stars, sorry), I would still recommend this to anyone and everyone. Will literally glue your eyes onto the pages until the end with such an intriguing premise that is executed amazingly.
