A great horror story for people who don't read horror (myself included). Fun, good pacing, mysterious. 

There are plenty of trigger warnings for this book! (Though I think that's expected with horror). 

The plot is fun and mysterious. The writing and imagery are vivid.

Slow burn in the best way. Had me on the edge of my seat the entire time and the prose is beautiful.

I enjoyed the book! Overall the journey of solving the mystery was super intriguing, but I found the MFC getting on my nerves at times and the part with Howard.. made me kind of upset. I love the ending and how everything worked out.
