This is the most disturbing and darkest book I've ever read.

I was looking for something different and since I saw Gillian Flynn's name everywhere, I simply knew I had to read one of her books, so instead of picking up the famous Gone girl, I went with this one.

The story was great. Not the fast paced suspense I was expecting but a mysterious one full of surprises and crazy theories.

The characters... Oh well, they all are messed up. If you're looking for a book with a great hero, then buy another book. This one doesn't have good characters. All of them are insane in some way. Probably Curry and Eileen are the only ones who are not crazy but they don't appear too much in the story.

Camille is definitely not your classic super heroine type. She only does her job and tries to live with her weird family. Also, she's not mentally healthy and sometimes I was wondering about her sanity too.

The ending was... I still don't know. I guess I'll continue figuring it out because it gave me the creeps.

Maybe, just maybe, I'll buy another book by this author.
