Great concept, not as spooky as I would have liked

It was fine, but didn’t go hard enough on the scary/ghost story to hold my full interest. Audiobook narrator was pretty good though. 

Toward the middle, it began to feel repetitive. Maybe it was supposed to disorient us, but I was a little bored.

Also, there wasn’t enough lore — what were the rituals? Where did they come from? And so on. This is very much a character-forward story, with much less work done in terms of plot. 

The baby stuff was starting to get interesting. It was the spookiest thing imo, but it wasn’t explored for very long, unfortunately.


Overall, fine to listen to in the background while you’re doing other stuff, but I think it would have dragged harder if I’d been reading it.

I did not like this book at all. The synopsis sounded great but in my opinion the book had no real story. It was kind of sickening since it’s basically a really messed up story of addiction and the zombie aspect and creepiness just wasn’t for me. I felt sick reading parts and there was nothing to follow for me.
