What I liked:
As an Oregon resident myself, I will admit I checked out this book mostly because of the setting. Of course, the plot sounded intriguing too. I found myself guessing with the characters all the way until the reveals.
I don't think this books was really scary, though the atmosphere was crafted quite well. I thought the entire novel was well-written and enjoyed a lot about it including all the characters. The audiobook version was great as I felt the narrator really brought distinction and emotion to the writing
Recommended for:
Paranormal mystery fans--not cozy mysteries-- as there is definitely a lot in here to potentially make your skin crawl.
