The premise for this novel was great, the execution not so much. The story is too slow, there are alternate timelines, and the characters are forgettable. This one took me forever to finish, even listening to it on the way back from Vegas and it wasn’t enough time. I’d recommend skipping this one unless you really want a supernatural survival horror.

I enjoyed reading the book, but felt like the parts that I liked the most about it fell short by the end of it because there was just so much going on. I don’t think it was all totally tied together in the end.
