Hide and Seek

The contrast between the quiet setting and the dark secrets felt very effective. I wonder if the author drew from personal experiences or local stories.

The story seemed to take a breather before ramping up again, which made me curious if that was an intentional way to build tension or just a natural part of the story flow.

The characters felt complex and unpredictable, which added to the suspense. I’d love to know if Mara had specific techniques for developing nuanced personalities.
