This book is horrifying. It’s intense and heartbreaking. The epilogue was not enough of an ending.

Overall this novel was intriguing. A little slow at times, but the plot was interesting and kept pulling you in. The end was 🤯. I didn’t find it scary…more of a compelling mystery to find out what was happening to Eve.

Very interesting and at times a little creepy. I enjoyed the plot very much, but the end was a bit flat for me.

Although this book was completely enjoyable and takes place in the town my son is currently going to school in…I’m not sure I fully understand the ending. I still found it interesting and creepy! A wild ride!

Hands down one of the creepiest books I’ve read. There are so many moments that just give you the heebie jeebies! And the end…what the actual heck! Not okay! So, I loved it and if you want to be creeped out completely you should read it too!
