Based on the synopsis & cover I thought this was thriller rather than a horror, but right from the start, there's a current of the supernatural running through the story. The author does a good job of making the reader empathise with Diya's predicament & the sense of menace gradually builds. The main issue I found was with the pacing - the pacing was so very slow right up until the end, when it suddenly did a 180 & sped through the conclusion.
