Also, while reading the book, I felt it could have easily been 50-100 pages shorter, but come to find out all the excessive trips down memory road and the journey entries was actually critical to the ending.
After several memory flashbacks, I was about ready to close the book when Luke was reading the journal. It just went on forever. Then what happened to LB angered me so much that I was basically emotionally numb (maybe that was the intent?) that I just finished the book.
I'm not sure if I'd truly recommend this to anyone, but if you decide to take the plug, beware of the various triggers.
Triggers: missing child, child abuse, child sexual assault, emotional abuse, toxic relationships, death, gore, grief, animal abuse, animal testing, animal death

This was an anxiety attack in a book, and I couldn't be happier. I loved the crazy tense atmosphere, the seriously visceral gore, and the absolute fear for the characters' lives.
It was intense, and I was never bored. I guess for some, the first half of the book might be a little slow, but it is a wild ride, and if you love John Carpenter's The Thing or Stephen King in general, you will adore this novel.
