Just watch the movie 'Sinister' instead. This book is a poor imitation.

I got this book almost 10 years ago from a giveaway and it got packed in a box and put into storage while I moved around for a while. If I had read it 10 years ago, I would have thoroughly enjoyed the book. Years of reading later, I found some plot points iffy and some that should have been explored better. The writing was done well, even though I felt there wasn't necessarily character development the author gives you a pretty good idea who the characters are and why they do what they do. I'd call this a nice palate cleanser to read in between books.

I need to work on my horror reviewing knack because Ania Ahlborn is an author whose books i want to be able to gush about badly...

I read "Brother" and i was like damn!!!! This one was a total mind fuck. Like this author so far, does not miss.
WTF factor was right on the money.
I absolutely loved loved loved this book.
