I enjoyed this well enough but found the ending deeply unsatisfying. I will give it props for making me emotional about one of the characters' fate.

I can't find a way to not be spoilery about it, but the main reason I kept reading instead of DNFing at 15% was to find out how 900 people vanished from this village and nobody in 60 years had an answer to that question. The conclusion was deeply unsatisfying to me, bordering on the nonsensical.

I didn't hate it but I didn't love it. The ending kinda ruined the whole thing for me. I was left confused still. About halfway, I started enjoying the "Then" part more than "Now" and wish it wasn't so far in between. I love a good cult. While the "Now" part was fine, it got annoying. I was not a fan of the main girl.

3.0

Hard to care about a horror when you don’t like any of the characters. The mystery and journey to the discovery was quite satisfying, but the actual climax of the book and answer to the mystery was both earned but also very anti-climactic. Idk how to describe it better than that. This is a book read for the journey of reading it.
