This is a fresh take on YA horror, and I especially appreciated the way that the novel was formatted. It helped create suspense, and framed it as someone retelling what happened to them. Which helps create that sort of unreliable narrator aspect of the entire story. Is that what really happened? Or is that just how Amelie imagined that it happened? We will never know.
The story itself was kind of bizarre, not going to lie. I'm still not exactly sure what actually happened when they were in the caves. Some of the characters also could have used a bit more character development, I think it would have helped develop some of the plot points too. But if you're looking for something that will hook you in until you're finished, I'd definitely recommend this one! As long as you don't look at the plot too closely.
