📚 NET GALLEY ARC REVIEWS 📚

First of all, I'd like to express my gratitude to Net Galley and Poisoned Pen Press for letting me dive into this book early. It hits the shelves on May 7, 2024, and I'm eagerly anticipating the moment when I can grab my own copy!

Wow! I just can't believe this was Marlee Bush's debut novel! This book had me on the edge of my seat — terrifying, gripping, and intense! Reading it felt like watching a horror movie, making me flinch at every creak behind me.

Cassie and Lenora's love was something else – their readiness to fight and protect each other was heartwarming.

Admittedly, there was a point where I seriously considered dropping the book. The scenes were getting a bit tangled, and I constantly found myself backtracking to grasp what had just happened. It could be my reading comprehension acting up, but despite that, my curiosity and the pile of questions in my mind kept me going.

Suddenly, all these intense scenes unfolded, and I was completely drawn in before I could even think about putting the book down. What took me by surprise were the plot twists—I absolutely didn't see them coming. The unpredictability of it all added a thrilling layer to the story, keeping me captivated from one twist to the next.

This book is an absolute gem, offering a captivating and worthwhile reading experience. Its unique blend of thriller, suspense, horror, and eerie elements creates a mesmerizing narrative that will undoubtedly leave you astonished. The way it seamlessly weaves through different genres adds layers of excitement and unpredictability. It's a literary journey that not only satisfies but also manages to elicit jaw-dropping moments, making it a must-read, particularly for enthusiasts of the thriller, suspense, mystery, and horror genres.
