Oooh yeah, this was pretty damn good.

I absolutely flew through the first section, I could not put it down. So intriguing. 

I loved the shift from mystery/thriller to horror. There were some truly scary moments.

Ralph's 'I love you' to Holly at the end was a bit weird. I can't figure out if it's meant to be platonic or romantic... if it's romantic that's so shitty. It definitely did sour the ending a bit for me.


Apart from that, the ending was good, if a bit drawn out once the climax was over.
