   Reader note

   I highly recommend this author. I've read many novels, including *Ten Days to the End*, *Slaying Gods*, *Mental Hospital*, and various other mystery and suspense stories. I really enjoy ghost stories, and I've never read anything like this before. Honestly, I think this book is slightly better than *Slaying Gods*, *Replica Mirror*, and *Strange Beasts*, which are all on the Tomato Music charts. The theme is unique, the protagonist is intelligent, plot holes are filled, and the logic is meticulous. I hope the author can continue writing after recovering from their illness.
