Bolton has an incredible way of writing that sends shivers down my spine and has me looking over my shoulder. This whole book is just creepy! There were several times when I regretted that I was alone while reading this book.
In the first half of the book especially, Bolton does a great job stringing me along to keep me invested. She provides just enough details to make me keep reading- never too much information, and never enough information, even at the very end. I'm so excited to read the sequel, but I'm not sure how I can wait until December...
I do remember at about halfway through the book I strongly considered giving up the book because I was getting bored. However, I now realize that the middle of the book was all information to set up the ending, making it more important than I gave it credit. I sure am glad I kept reading.
I'm incredibly happy when a book is able to take me by surprise, and this one did! I didn't see the ending coming at all, and I never guessed the villain, although upon further reflection, I should have known better. Bolton gave me the answer in the first few pages, but then spent the rest of the book proving why that answer was wrong. Very nicely done!
