Synopsis:

I didn’t think that when I requested this book it would be SO SCARY! Like I love horror films and I love horror games, but horror books? I’m gonna have to rethink my position on them after this book. The scary moments were amazingly well written and the man vs. self conflict was really really well done. I thought overall most of the characters were engaging and the character development/relationship and dialogue with one another was very real.

However, I do think that there were some plot holes and the plot was a bit weak. The pacing felt off to me as well, like everything was happening much faster than what it should. And I feel that the main character really didn’t care what was going on in some parts of the book. I’m kind of baffled by her nonchalant attitude towards everything. It almost came off as cold or disconnected. Also, the writing really gets me confused. There were some parts of the book I had to read over and over again to understand what the author meant, including a part towards the beginning that almost comes off as the author being homophobic.

Verdict: Scarier than Madeline Roux.
