Nothing but blackened disappointment. 

There are things to like about this book, but they are scant. Descriptive moments that you wish would linger, only to be usurped by poor dialogue and narrative exposition. It just doesn't feel like a complete or realised book. I didn't care about a single character or moment. It never allowed me to empathise. I wish it had.

Ghastly and a good time for those who love a quick, Until Dawn series of events. I thought more could have been done with

the subtext regarding the dead bride and the women buried in the walls-- I was surprised when that plotline sort of fell away. The ghosts in this story are only decorations-- the real horror comes from the people. Just like real life.

3.5

Really beautiful and sensory writing, particularly the descriptions and metaphors communicating the narrative perspective. Heady, hazy, woozy in the best way. The plot could be been more fleshed out and characters more developed. The juice of this story is in the feelings and reflections it inspires in the reader.

maybe someday i'll find one of these short horror reads that i actually like! anyways i honestly nearly DNF'd this bc i found the characters and their dynamic to be incredibly obnoxious, but the book was so damn short i figured i'd just finish it anyways. for something that was touted in reviews as ~Sooooo Disturbing~ there were like 2 parts that even had the POTENTIAL to be scary and literally a single kill that was admittedly kinda fucked up but not really Extreme. if this book scared you i'm sorry to say you're a total lightweight 💔
