I've not read an Alex North book yet that I haven't enjoyed. His books are just creepy and twisty enough for my taste. Once again, I really enjoyed the writing and following along with the story. Some of the twists I figured out, or at least partially figured out, before they were revealed and others I did not expect. I had a theory or two that didn't pan out at all, so I'd say overall it was unexpected enough to keep me engaged the whole time.

I was fortunate enough to have a physical copy of this book as well as an audio copy. I enjoyed listening to the audio and the narration was very well done, but I found it difficult to keep track of everyone at first. Two of our main characters have different names at different times in the story and there are a few additional players as well. I was happy to have the physical book to refer to in order to keep every one straight in the beginning. Once the story progressed a bit, it was much easier to remember all the characters, but I would recommend the physical book for this reason.

This one has a bit of a paranormal twist to it. I can't say which bits are real or not, because half the fun is figuring that out as you go. However, I will say that I didn't find it to be overly done.

Once again, I really enjoyed this book and the concepts that it is based on are interesting to think about.
