Great book, nice fast read. Only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is the map in the beginning is completely wrong, based on where things are located in relation to one another in the text. Why create a map if you can't even bother to make it right?

Excellent horror! A few scenes made my jaw drop. The diary entries included were especially disturbing. Kiersten White knows exactly what she's doing.
