Little Creeping Things by Chelsea Ichaso
3.0

2.5 stars rounded up

What I enjoyed most about LITTLE CREEPING THINGS was the twist on the title/the big theme. Going into it, I expected it would be referring to something related to the missing person mystery. It does to an extent, but it's more about how ideas, especially ideas about ourselves, can creep into us until we form them as truth, even when they aren't. They make it easy for people to forget who they really are and what they're really capable of.

While I enjoyed that theme, the plot fell a little flat for me. I wasn't able to get hooked into the story and had to push myself to finish (mostly because I wanted to confirm if I was right about the person behind everything).
