The characters are all horrible. Jess is the main focus, and she just seems like a pain in the… the secondary characters are completely flat and honestly don’t seem to have any personality differences. Overall I wasn’t interested enough to continue.
I hated Sadie, and was bored out of my mind. The author tries so hard to create “atmosphere” or something that every page could probably be cut by at least 50 if not 75 percent and be more interesting.

A completely unlikeable cast of characters, no plot, and impossible to keep straight.

I received an eARC from NetGalley. This book took quite a while to hook me, and I honestly contemplated DNF a couple times because I wasn’t getting into it. Now that I’ve finished, I’m not upset that I stuck it out, but I’m not floored by the ending either. I actually had a different villain in mind up to the very end. All in all, this fell somewhat short of the very promising synopsis for me, but it’s decent.
