dark mysterious tense medium-paced

4.0

It kept me locked in for the entirety of the book, however the stakes they set up during the book were not the same stakes the book ended with. I feel like the ending/epilogue did not match the writing and tenseness of the rest of the book, in my opinion.

Deliciously creepy. Delivered on my expectations after loving Dead Silence! Really enjoyed the tension and unreliable narration in this one.
