Mm. This one will sit with me for a bit - the first thriller I’ve ever read. A haunting concept, one that Meloy worked wonders with. I felt myself invested in everything happening, engrossed in the story. 

But so much was left unexplained. The story just…ends. In a way, I like the ending, because it isn’t a perfect happy ending. It’s eerie and cautious. But in all other ways, it falls flat. I would’ve loved just a few more chapters to finish the plot - who are the men? Why did  the one brother kill the other? Why did what happened to Chris not happen to Oliver - did they not see the same thing? How did Seaham reconcile what happened?

I want more and I’m bummed I can’t have it. I don’t love open endings because I like straight answers. But I enjoyed what WAS there so much that it still earns 4 stars.
