Devoured, loved. Had me thinking about it when I wasn't reading it which is always good
Well I thought this was excellent. The ending left me feeling unsure what to believe, but it was written that way, not in a sloppy, unfinished sort of way. Was Grayson spiraling down a path of madness and eventually murder as a result of his environment, the cult-like religion thrust upon him, his inability to come to terms with his sexuality? Or was it truly the Devil within him? The format of the novel flips between Grayson's diary and evidence (via interviews, letters, etc.) of the investigation presented through a journalist, Daniella Barclay. The novel is eerie, speculative, psychological. I am sooo pleased with my reading experience, can't wait to read more from Dumas!!
The second book by Dumas I’ve read. I never knew what to expect in this book. The setting, characters and pacing kept me on the edge of my seat and I read the last 200 pages in one sitting on the train home for winter break. A pretty light read in terms of writing and an excellent final book of the year.
