I genuinely think this is one of the most mind-blowing stories I’ve come across.
I’m not generally a fan of thrillers, but the twists, the turns, the ambience, the questions holy shit. I’ve never read anything like this. My first thought after finishing it was “WHAT THE FUCK” and how this is the only book I would give up anything to experience for the first time again.

Kept me at the edge of my seat, wincing every time I heard the wind blow. Holy shit it was an incredible read.
The ONLY detail is that the ending was not the best, I would’ve enjoyed a more impactful plot twist or some major death.
Besides that, it was a great quick and impactful read that will have your skin crawling for days.
