I loved the first half of this book! The entire time, it felt like I was waiting for something to jump out at me. My spidey senses were tingling and I was sure that when whatever it was finally jumped out at me, even knowing that it was coming, I was going to audibly shriek.
And then there were two twists... and they were GOOD twists.
But unlike other readers have experienced, the story that followed and played out was not as exciting as the first half for me.
I will say - I LOVED the character development, the pacing, the plot, the creativity of the story. The writing style was phenomenal and I'm already looking forward to reading other works by Rekulak. This book definitely deserves all they hype!! I read it in two sittings in less than a day.
A note for those who are curious - if, like me, you're a wimp when it comes to horror and nervous about whether you'll be able to sleep, this book is squarely on the thriller side of the line and wraps up nicely.
