Hunter/Prey

The story's relentless suspense kept me on the edge of my seat. I'm curious what elements or experiences influenced the mood behind the thriller.

The character's motivations added a disturbing layer to the story. Did others find themselves sympathizing or repulsed by them at different points?

The quick shifts and cliffhangers really amplified the suspense. I wonder if this was a conscious choice to keep readers guessing or evolved during writing.
