A dark image of a woman standing beneath a lamp post on the street.

A psychotic roller coaster. What begins as a seemingly straightforward paranormal tale quickly spirals into something much more complex and unsettling. The opening draws you in with an eerie, supernatural vibe, but the middle hits you with layers of confusion, psychological twists, and moments that make you question everything you thought you understood. By the time you reach the final chapters, there’s a lot to unravel, threads that suddenly snap into place, revelations that force you to re-evaluate earlier scenes, and a satisfying sense of everything finally coming together.

It’s chaotic in all the right ways. And when you turn that last page, you’re left feeling like you’ve finally pieced together a dark, intricate puzzle. Overall, a wild, gripping read.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/5)
