This is a unique story. Honestly I’m not sure how to feel about it. I liked it. I really did. It’s definitely a bit historical along with some aspects of a thriller and horror story - which those genres together have me all confused. I do want to say that I listened to the audiobook and take my word for it that earbuds need to be used when in public! There is some inappropriate language in this book (one of the reasons for my rating honestly), and it’s doubly inappropriate at the park!

Overall this story is worth a read, but after all the hype I was expecting more.
