This split into three parts. Each part I felt became more predictable and less intense.

Part one was easy to get into. I was flying through it. But this part is mainly setting up the scene. I would say pay attention to everything as the beginning of part two may throw you off like it did me.

The beginning of part two I was confused. I thought I had been reading it wrong the whole time. But I feel like this was done intentionally. At least I hope so.

The confusion was caused due to the fact it felt like the POV of certain characters switched. But as I continued reading things fell into place and started to make more sense.

I think because this is inspired by Misery, at least I think so considering how similar is it, the book became very predictable. Especially as I had read Misery a couple of months before. There were enough differences but overall I think it made this harder to be shocked by. Although there were a few twists I was surprised by.

The police were useless in this. They didn’t really care which is probably why Sam wasn’t found so easily. But I felt Annie was great once she really put her mind to it. But the big “save” was definitely underwhelming.

The ending and the big reveals as to why everything happened I felt were a little weak. I was underwhelmed. But if I remember correctly I felt the same with Misery.

The last 20% didn’t give me the same “edge of my seat” feeling that I had the beginning of part two when things were starting to happen.
