This was a highly entertaining read and just what I want for a horror read. It was wonderfully creepy from start to finish with some interesting twists and characters. I still had a little trouble at times feeling like the horror was a little cheesy, but I guess that's probably just a personal hang-up on the genre in general. It also was lightly humorous as well, but just lightly.
The twists in the book really weren't surprising to me at all. I pretty much picked up on everything right away (though I had some theories reversed, but they were still present). I think if I had been totally in the dark and hadn't guessed them, I would have been more surprised and enjoyed it a bit more. You can't sneak those by a thriller reader, I guess.
It was a fun read and I wish I had read it during spooky season, but it was just as fun in the winter. I'd definitely try this author again.
