I was expecting an old-school locked-room mystery that took place in a secluded cabin in the woods, but that is not what I got.
I admit this book was creepy and had elements of what I thought was going to be paranormal. However, the direction if when was more sci-fi. I don't want to spoil anything, so I’ll keep it extremely vague but I'm not a paranormal or a sci-fi fan, so I didn't really enjoy this. The story was told from a one-person POV. However, most of the characters weren't really lovable, and I felt zero sympathy for them.
The pace was medium, so I was able to power through the book in a couple of days though, not a bad sign. The story was unpredictable, and the conclusion was okay.
This one just wasn’t for me. If you like sci-fi stuff, you might enjoy this one, but for me… it’s a meh.
Thank you to Simon & Schuster Canada for providing me with an electronic ARC of this book via NetGalley. As usual, my reviews are my honest and unbiased opinions.
