I have never read anything like this before. I did not enjoy this though I think it was well written and  great storytelling. It just cements why I don't read horror or this type of suspence or thriller usually. This felt hopeless 95% of the book. I'm glad I listened to the audiobook because I would have dnf'd this physically. I liked everyone of the characters and found them each relatable in some way. But also didn't like them at the same time. I definitely learned a lot and it had me questioning some of my values. Which was an extra uncomfy layer. Doesn't help I read this while preparing stuff for the holidays. Not a lot of joy and cheer to be found here. I like the ending but it also felt anticlimactic. It was drawn out too much too me.
