Please let there be a sequel ❤️
I love this book and I want more! It's a little different from what I've been reading lately,but J.T always writes great books..he did not disappoint with this one
Some parts I thought I figured out the plot until I read further,it kept changing.. you might think you know what's going to happen,but you don't.
Anyone who complains and said they can't be bothered to finish the book is obviously not an avid reader and should stick to movies(they probably wouldn't finish those either)
This book is definitely not predictable,it's a good fun read

Wow!!!! So twisty! Claustrophobic aura and such a feeling of dread...I loved it! At first, the viewpoint changes interrupted the flow a bit for me, but then, I really got into it. This was a GOOD READ!! Just be ready to do nothing but read this book!

What a thrill ride! Each reveal or twist drew me in deeper than the last. Great read, will give you winter level chills even if reading on a warm summer day.
