Thank you Putnam for sending me a copy of William! 

Unfortunately this one fell a bit flat for me. I am a character-driven girl and this novella just didn’t have dynamic characters. Paige in particular wasn’t worth including. 

While I enjoyed the concept and it does get creepy and eerie, I didn’t get anything from the characters or the subtext. I would definitely recommend this for those looking for a quick, thrilling read. Perhaps fans of the movie The Collector would like this.
