This one didn't hit as hard as I hoped it would on re-read.
I think it may be because a lot of the tension in this book comes from the darkness, and not knowing what’s going to happen. Because this was a re-read I knew the ending, so most of the tension was taken out of it for me.
I also remember Drake to be a much more intimidating character. I would think this is because I'm just older now and have read a lot more horror, but during this re-read I have been more creeped out by him in earlier books, so it might just be that this one is lacking.
It may also be because I seem to be in a bit of a slump. Not necessarily with getting through books, but I don't feel as immersed in stories at the moment.
Either way, still a great book with great concepts.
