An enjoyable scary story. I enjoyed the structure of the book, part of it though was it struggled to keep my attention and I was not super attached to the characters. Though the set up and premise were great, I'd recommend checking it out.

Enjoyed the vibes and creepiness but I dread reading about kids getting hurt too much to enjoy the book.

The most disgusting thing I’ve read and ever hope to read in my entire life. I will think of it in the coming year when I need help sticking to my wedding diet and want to give myself nightmares 

this book was so good. there were parts of it that were a bit icky, but that’s par for the course with horror. i couldn’t put this bad boy down real talk. i saw a description somewhere that this book feels like a mix of lord of the flies and 28 days later, which definitely tracks, so if that’s your jam then i definitely recommend!

So fucking gross.
I loved it.
