Well I will say that this book had a twist out of no where, sure. But so much of what was KINDA going to happen was hinted at throughout the book with the talks of fires, drugs, etc. While the twist was a little out there, I did expect SOMETHING to happen but just not this exact thing. I am not throwing this book out the window - I rather enjoyed the story of it all. I definitely consider it more thriller than horror - a little more domestic noir than anything else. I sorta see the "horror" aspect of it/the end, but it is not enough for me to classify it as such. In the end, I def enjoyed this ride and will read more books by this author! 4 stars!
