My thoughts
This book started off a tad bit slowaa it wasn’t actioned packed the way a lot of my books that I read now are.
This isn’t a bad thing at all just perplexing as I am finding myself trying to figure out this story. All I can feel is something sinister is happening and it all feels wrong with what I sense coming.
Bridget I get chills reading about. Something is very off-putting about her and she seems to have difficult times coming. What I can’t figure out is just what she is doing. All I feel is dread for what she will do you know that feeling in the pit of your stomach that just sits there that’s what I feel for Bridget.
I honestly don’t know what to feel about this book other than creeped out. Typical stalkerish behaviour and you never know what will happen when you have one of those.
A lot of creepy feeling is good for me as it made me have an emotional reaction which really is all you can ask for in a book.
I enjoyed the book and I think this author really has it down on how to elicit a reaction. While I won’t say it was a fun read as it did trigger some of my issues that I had in the past.
Good job with this book as it really did freak me out.
