Very well-written, the meta-horror and true crime format make this book an especially compelling read. I'm definitely going to be picking up the sequel when it drops later this year.

Overall the book is fine. It’s well written and so realistic I had to remind myself often that it is fiction. This was my first time reading something with a “true crime” feel and I’m thinking it’s probably just not for me. The entire time I was waiting for it to get crazy or reveal a twist but it never did. If this kind of book is your thing, it’s a great read! But if you want a little more excitement, it may not be for you.

texassippiwill's review against another edition
The idea for this book is really good and I like the premise. The problem is that the narrator sounds very dated and does not do a good job of brining you into the story. Having a narrator who sounds that way isn't necessarily a problem, but I found myself treating the book like a commercial in the background. I would occassionaly look up and go "oh that's interesting, I wonder what this is about?" and then I would quickly realize they are dwelling on a storyline that seems to have little to no relevance to the story. It may factor in later but after a while the story has to actually start and not keep telling these side stories that unfortunaley weren't that interesting. Like I said, the premise of the book is good, but it feels like a chore to get to where the story possibly gets more interesting but I wasn't given enough early to give that attempt.

I love the real life pictures in this book made everything seem a bit more real. The audio though was a little slow to get into but overall I enjoyed myself.
