It's been years since I've been able to read an entire book in one day, but this book was absolutely enthralling to me. I picked it up because being from North Carolina and named Sam, after seeing the premise I HAD to read it. But god, I really didn't expect for it to hit so close to home for me. It's one of those horror stories that really makes you confront your own family history. Even if nothing supernatural is in my family history, that doesn't mean the shadows of abuse don't still haunt you even when they are long dead. The slow creeping horror building up to the finale felt like watching an extremely disturbing puzzle come together. I absolutely recommend this book, but this book already feels so deeply personal to me I know I'm probably biased.
