I loved it! The format is FUN. The story is awesome, creepy, suspenseful, and the ending is perfect.

I lost interest. The style (found post cards) was initially engaging but became stale after a while.

A really interesting concept of how this was published. The story is intriguing as well.

A neat premise and a curious execution of the story. I was all tied up in hope and wonder right up until the end. If there does end up being a sequel I'm likely to read it!
