I honestly burst out laughing with a wtf moment when the first twist is revealed. SO UNEXPECTED! The book was NOT what I was expecting at all, granted, I went into it blindly. I don't think it's a super scary book, but I don't get scared by books, so my opinionon that is relative. The FMC experiences a lot of growth throughout the book and shows perseverance. It makes you wonder if your family makes you who you are. I enjoyed the sarcasm of the FMC. It does keep you wondering what's going to happen initially, although I was able to predict what was going to happen towards the end. Overall, a good book if your into horror novels.
