I don't really know what to say. I did enjoy it, but some parts were very disturbing, in a bad way. Overall, I did enjoy it, though.

OMG i loved this book! Its disgusting in the best way possible, and i loved how it blenda fantasy and reality? horror, i thought it would be more of a creepy supernatural being in the woods kind of book but it wasnt i loved that. The ending is fitting but kinda lame, I think that after everything that happened it was a little bit hurried/didnt get the amount of words it deserved? i would loved it if it. was a lottle more detailed.

I loved how yo start fellong pity for Lori and her sad lofe, thinking that maybe this thing for serial killers is just a way to spark her boring life, and wanting the best for her in this creepy situation she got into, but when you start to learn about her past you just want the river man to tear her apart. I think it was a perfect way to pass the book, i hate when horror books just take innocents lives to shock you more. /

Overall i think it was a good read to get our of a reading slump but the werinig, althought beatiful at parted, needed to be better at some points, specially develpment-wise. I loved the idea of intercalating present, past and the letters but theres something in how this is written that makes me go ehhhh.
