Loved that many of the characters were older women who seemed a bit forgotten! There were times I was bored and wished the pace was faster. The book was a bit predicatable but I enjoyed it overall especially the horror history feel. I've never read a book by this author and would try another one.

Trigger warnings: Graphic violence, mass murder, gun violence, violence against women, gore, sexual abuse of a minor by an adult. 

If you are easily upset or scared, this book is one hundred percent NOT FOR YOU. I cannot stress this fact enough. While it is clearly a work of fiction, it is full of murder and gore and stalking and violence against women and if any of those things are a problem for you, you would be best served to never pick this up. Having said that, while it was definitely not an easy read for much of it, I really enjoyed the story and it kept me guessing straight through until the end. As a pretty much lifelong fan of slasher flicks and horror movies, I really enjoyed this, but it is definitely for a fairly specific audience.

nicjmorrow's review against another edition

I just couldn't. Everyone was evil, everyone was the monster, every character was evil and just a bad person and crazy. I couldn't. The tension is non stop and I just could not.
