❝ I am the thing in the dark. ❞
As I started reading this book, the very first chapter creeped me out. However, I love the way the author wrote everything in this book so beautifully terrifying; the way she put the descriptions and mythical felt real, I can successfully felt the atmosphere went on all fours. Literally, this book shockeeeeeed me. Oh! The funny thing is, I can predict things in this book but it still shocked me and left me stunned. Well— such a good book but really wish we could’ve gotten more from the ending. Felt a bit rushed to me.

I remember everything. You just wouldn't believe me if I told you.
Grey was right, nobody would believe such an insane story, but people dig the mysterious and occult. At some point even I thought that I'd be happier if I didn't know what exactly was going on, but I also know that I'm way too curious. By the end I had a difficult time accepting all the facts, like come on, that's just plain tragic what happened.
Your life would be happier if you didn’t know.
Knowledge is power.
And ignorance is bliss.
I was pretty hopeful at the beginning and I wasn't let down per se, but some parts felt overly repeated and explained while other (
Sometimes the dialogue seemed like a part of the conversation was just cut out or the flow wasn't entirely natural, but it didn't bother me that much, I just noticed it a couple of times.
There are things in every family that are not talked about. Stories you know without really knowing how you know them, tales of terrible things that cast long shadows over generations.
Oh for sure, this shadow has been cast over these people for so long and there's a sense of knowing what is going on, but still doubting your gut feeling. I feel bad for everyone involved, all of you get therapy!
Seriously, this is one of the more shocking stories I've read. It crawls inside you and makes your skin itch. I did not want to believe until the last second - hope does cruel things to us!
