good scary vibes, good characters, good plot. but it was just too long for me and I'm not sure about that ending tbh

Beautifully written and amazing character development. I honestly felt so invested into each of the characters. Creepy and hard hitting story!

4.5. Creepy, cinema like black horror written well. Yeshua was my friend throughout the entire book and I read only in the daytime lol. It was a bit too long for me. overall I really enjoyed it.

This has been an absolute slog.  I just can't go on.

This book could have been 100 page shorter. While I did initaly like the plot, the side stories from other characters dragged the book longer than it needed to be. 
The book was also published in 2003/2006 so some of the wording within the book was a bit outdated and could come off as offensive to some groups. 

I am happy that Angela was able to get your happy ending.
