i was expecting some good paced, psychological thriller with in depth characterization of the killer alas my expectation was set too high by all the five starred reviews & the intriguing, promising premise. 
but what makes me more disappointed and baffled by all the high praises is because i thought the writing is unfocused, really all over the place and i don't understand the tonal switch in the narrative. also i thought eve's inner monologues are so juvenile and useless. and the killer HA ha ha

p/s: i feel like this book could work if it's a dark comical book
