This is a captivating psychological thriller that delves into the complexities of the human mind. Jacobs excels at creating a tense and eerie atmosphere that lingers throughout the book. I loved the university setting placed amongst a snowy backdrop. There is just something about dark academia that is so satisfying to read. This book alternates between many POV (nine that I counted) which sounds like it would be an extremely chaotic way to present a book but, here, it worked very well. The pacing of the novel is well done, with tension building steadily as the story progresses.
What I didn’t particular care for was the study itself that the book revolved around. The details of it seemed a bit confusing or like there wasn’t enough of a background for it. In fact, I didn’t even find it necessary to the execution of the plot and I found myself skimming a lot of the sections where it was brought up.
