Whoa. This book was something else. 

You know when you read a book and say “oh whoa wait what?!” Yeah. I did that in this one. It’s a super creepy ghost-like story with a hellava twist to keep you invested to the end!

This is pretty fast paced. It’s probably more of a medium pace toward the end but overall it’s pretty quick. Looking back it may have been a slower build but it didn’t feel like it at the time. Enough was happening that it didn’t feel like a slower build until you hit that twist and you’re saying “whoa, what?!”

Definitely creepy over scary. Twists you probably wont see coming. Fantastic narrator. Thanks for the audiobook NetGalley!
