4.0

This was a slow burn thriller bordering on horror that didn’t lack in intensity despite its sedate pacing. It was the type of read that made me uneasy the whole time and part of that was being inside Annie’s mind the whole time was unsettling. I mean that as a compliment though, the authors ability to make me uncomfortable and unsteady is a gift, this was just a lot at times. Annie isolates herself when she struggles with her mental health and it gave the whole thing a claustrophobic feel to it. With slow mounting suspense and dread it managed to keep it attention easily, but it is a heavy read with plenty of depth and substance. If you like character driven psychological suspense that you can really sink your teeth into this was good!
