dark sad tense fast-paced

Diverse cast of characters: No

Good for a thrill but I just couldn't get past the fact there was only one female character in the entire thing and she was only there to test the main character's faith. Basically Lord of the Flies with a supernatural and religious element. There's better horror out there.

I think this was only the second time reading a horror story. It was horrible, I liked it. Will definitely check out Philip Fracassi's other books. 4.25*

I guess it was ok.
I think having such big expectations because of all the hype around this book, I am a bit disappointed with it. However I still enjoyed it. I think I just wanted MORE from it
