Characters? unlikable.
Main sisters POV? so similar I couldn't tell the difference and that was WITH the audiobook having TWO DIFFERENT READERS.
The twist? Lazy.
I don't write many reviews for non-arcs but this book had the ground work to be creepy and terrifying, but after 50% it was like even the author didn't care anymore.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
The piecing together of all the stories felt somewhat clunky, and I think this is what caused it to have a rough start. After about 30% of the way through, things really started to come together in an interesting way. The murder mystery aspect was really neat, and I’m glad that the allusion to the paranormal didn’t end in a mental illness cop-out. I liked Ashley and Logan more than I expected to. As for the horror side of things, this book would be good for people who don’t have the stomach for gore in thrillers. There aren’t very many descriptors of violence, and Gould tends to lean towards “fade to black” style writing for young adult reading.
All in all, I thought this was a “keep you on the edge of your seat” mystery, and it truly had me hooked.
The full review will be posted on August 2nd, 2021.
