I thought this book was slow and quite boring. I was interested enough to know what the big mystery at the end was going to be, just to be so disappointed with the actual ending. It felt like the ending was rushed and disconnected from the rest of the book.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC!

I’m a thriller lover and I think this book did well in terms of character development and managing multiple hallucinatory storylines (unreliable narrators) but it definitely lacked in terms of overall plot and felt very predictable towards the end. A lot of it felt repetitive in a way that didn’t advance the plot but definitely did play into the small town dynamic.

Overall, I would give this author another chance but I definitely prefer a book with stronger twists and more of a suspenseful pacing in this genre. Still a decent showing for 3/5 (probably more like a 3.5/5).
