Absolutely loved this and it's going to stick with me for a while. I highly recommend that you listen to the audiobook version because the narrator doing the different voices I think created 85% of the creepy factor. The story itself was probably pretty creepy on its own, but the VOICES! 😳😳😳 If you had told me prior to this year that I would enjoy and recommend an audiobook over reading I'd have said you were delusional, but here we are! Narration is 4.5*

I found this a really gripping read, and the first half in particular I found very creepy!
I think it got a little repetitive after a while and thought the 2nd half wasn't as strong as the 1st but overall I really enjoyed it.
