An interesting book that gave me the chills and disturbed me. My biggest critique is that I didn’t think Lowen was really likable. She certainly wasn’t unlikable, but I never felt connected to her as a character. Honestly she was a little weird and off. 

When I read the end where we discover Verity might not have been the monster we think, I was convinced this was a misunderstanding. However, the more I think about it the more I doubt the truth in Verity’s final letter. Why was she so creepy? Why did Lowen find Crew in Verity’s room with a knife and a cut on his chin? He certainly didn’t do that himself. My biggest praise of this book is that both version of events are believable and we’ll never truly know if Verity was lying or telling the truth.
