Wow...this book pushed almost every single one of my things guaranteed to freak me out in horror stories buttons and I loved every minute of it. The humor and horror was the most balanced that Hendrix has done in a while and reminded me very much of Horrorstor. Because this was one that I definitely stopped reading an hour before bed just to avoid having nightmares, much like I did with that other one.

The ride was a crazy one and whenever a new development happened I was on the edge of my seat. One would think it would be overkill at one point but it never ran the risk of that for me.it just kept me more engaged for whatever was coming next.

I think it also did a very good job of exploring exactly how wide the effects of grief are, even years after, for people who don't even know the person behind the grief. It also shows how much good intentions can ultimately fail, regardless of the reasoning behind it. And it's something that you don't even realize until the story has ended which to me is a sign of talented writing.

It was weird to go through 2022 without a Hendrix release but this was well worth the wait because I feel that he was able to put just a bit more effort and touch on the novel with it getting pushed back. Highly recommend.
