I feel like the only interesting part of the story is Verity, and it's not in a "she's so bad she's good". It's just that all the other characters, Lowen and Jeremy, have little to no personality. The plot itself relies heavily on shock-value, and isn't great for re-readability
I also feel like the ending is a cop-out, and is pretty disappointing. 

Overall, if you're new to horror, it's a great introduction. Otherwise, you're fine to not read it.

If you have never read a thriller before I recommend you read it. It leaves you with so.many questions. Definitely look up trigger warnings, it will leave you shocked.
