There really isn’t much to say in this review other than that this is a really, really good read.
It’s been a long time since I have read something that has creeped me out so much that I can’t stop thinking about it. It was so creepy at times I couldn’t help but shudder which makes a really good horror story.
It was a really fast, enthralling read that definitely keeps you turning pages.
The idea behind the plot was original, terrifying and intriguing all at once. It was something new which is always a good thing and it definitely didn’t disappoint.
The only criticism I have was that at times I was confused when the narration switched between different characters in both the past and the present. It wasn’t difficult to catch up with it but it sort of threw me a little.
Overall though, this is a definitely a must read for anyone who doesn’t mind being creeped out once in a while and is a great introduction for a reader wanting to read some horror stories!
