This novel was thriller with some horror/supernatural elements, and it was a good page-turner. I did have one issue, though: I wasn't a big fan of having a character with developmental disabilities being affected by the supernatural (and used as a plot device) struck me as a bit yucky. While the character did have some agency, and I am all for representation in all genres (and did really appreciate his inclusion), it didn't feel like this was the most sensitive representation. I could see an argument the other way, but my personal opinion was that his developmental disabilities didn't serve the story, but served more of a deux ex machina role.
All this is to say, if you have someone with developmental disabilities in your life, you may have feelings about this one, and I can't say what those feelings might be.

Ended up really liking this book. Once I got past the first 40 percent which for some reason was slow to me it picked up and really got good. Second half of book is 5 star while first half 3. Really liked the characters and they really worked well with each other.
This was a bit of a strange one. A fantastic first act and a solid final act are let down by a really soggy and slow middle act. Also feel like the 1st and 3rd person switches were needlessly jarring and the whole thing would have benefitted from being entirely told in 3rd person. Regardless, this was still a creepy and well told story in the vein of Stephen King’s It.
TW: one super unnecessary bit of animal violence slapped right in the middle.
