This book was near perfect for me! The only reason why it didn't get 5 stars, was because it was predictable by the end. But it was through and through a great horror story. I thoroughly enjoyed it! 

I found myself really liking the writing style of Ania. The descriptions of what is happening, what everyone sees (or think they are seeing) and everything is amazing. It's perfectly balanced between knowing enough to scare you but not getting too much info that it gets you out of the moment. 

In my opinion, everyone also reacted accordingly towards certain situations. No "overly stupid" decisions, no extreme measures to things, no "this makes zero sense" moments. It was a great story and I cannot say anything truly bad about it.

I am sure to check out some of her other works. I already got some great recommendations!

I do love a book that has the balls to murder a child, but damn that was gruesome.

This book had me hooked from the very beginning. My only wish is that I had saved this read for October. It was the perfect spooky read. 

I will say that I hated our main male character. It was never really explained why he couldn’t say anything about his past. So it was frustrating when he had moments he could speak up and didn’t.
