I would give this book a 3.5 (all these updates Goodreads and you still can't give us 1/2 stars?). It was a struggle in the beginning to get into because I had no idea what was going on (what was real, what was hallucinations/dream) and it gave me a real headache. I had to put the book down and I didn't come back to it for months. Then I picked it back up in October because I though hey this could be a good Halloween read. Once I started understanding what was going on I had no problem speeding through the book. I wanted to know what happened. Who was innocent, who was lying? And I got my answers, sort of. There is one question that didn't give an answer but alas I'll just have to live with it. The writing is good though I felt the storytelling most likely intentionally made to be misleading/confusing to create tension and add to the creepiness (I didn't care for it). There can be creepiness and tension without heading causing scenes.
