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.

The atmosphere in this book was unmatched. Edmund cox really reminded me of Richard Ramirez and Lori as his stupid groupie. Speaking of Lori, I loved how the author went from depicting her as a sympathetic character into a vile disgusting monster who deserved everything she got. Hell, I wish she was tortured violently and without salvation for what she did to her siblings. But that’s just me being unreasonably cruel when I know therapy should probably been something that she should have gotten.
