Reviews:

  • Everest Cannon
    Way too long and dragged out. It had potential, but it lost me halfway through.

    Surprisingly good! I didn't expect much, but the twists and emotional depth really pulled me in.

  • Milana Vaughn
    An absolute snooze fest. The pacing was terrible, and it felt like nothing ever happened.
    Rating: 1.5

  • Issac Morse
    Great concept, poorly executed. There were too many plot holes, and the ending felt rushed.

  • Eloise Archer
    Not my cup of tea. The storyline was predictable and the characters lacked depth.
