Wow!! I loved this book, I don’t normally read gory books but this one was great! I love that it showed a normal group of women fighting for themselves and their families. Every single man in this book is completely infuriating, there were several times I was yelling for the women to answer the men with more sass than a lady like them would dare to. When the police and men think you’re crazy and won’t help, you just have to get your girls to have your back.

This book will always be one of my favorites and if you’re looking for a good horror that will keep you on edge, this is the one for you. The horror itself isn’t cheesy or tacky, but moments that will have you holding your breathe

in the attack hiding from James

 I just couldn’t put it down - but that is to be expected by Grady Hendrix.

It’s safe to say that I am not a horror fan! The scenes were so well written and have honestly given me the heebie jeebies 😬
