Just the right amount of suspense to keep me going and loving it

I spent the afternoon relaying to one of my nonreader friends the entire plot of this book. She was literally on the edge of her seat, eating her salad like it was popcorn in a movie theater, gasping at just the right moments and putting off a bathroom break so that I could finish. That's how good this book is. Every page was just like that. Me reading with my eyes wide open, waiting for a gotcha moment. I could practically hear the ominous movie soundtrack throughout.

The back and forth between Jessica Farris and Dr. Shields is perfect. The character development is perfect. The trail of breadcrumbs is perfect.

I'm not a scary movie or horror book kind of girl. Creepy books creep me out too much. But this was just the right amount of suspense to keep going and loving it.
