Disappointing and not my vibe. Very over complicated writing and unlikable characters.

I don't even know where to go here or what exactly to say. This book was a ride but I can't say a good one. You take a risk when you pick a book at random at the store and this was definitely that. I got drawn in by reviews printed on the front and back, things like "brutally delicious" and "sharp, playful, and nasty as hell".... And after reading it.... WHERE did those descriptions come from?

I've never read anything from this author before and sadly, probably won't read anything else. This was..... Hard to follow.... And seemed more like useless bickering than a ghost story. It's just.... Disappointing and weird. Glad it was a quick read because anything longer and I definitely wouldn't have been able to finish it.

It had so much more potential to be scarier, darker, more thrills and intense. Instead it just felt rushed, random, and the spook factor was intermittent and just lacking. The inter-connectivity of the characters with the pathetic back stories was just.... Shallow. Maybe that's it, this whole book felt shallow. Wouldn't recommend unless you're a fan of the author and a collector.

after you watch a couple mediocre to bad 2000s horror movies, this really isn’t anything special. you have the same meh horror quality, the insufferable characters that you just want to hurry up and die, the attempt to “subvert” or “call out” tropes that just comes off as tacky and a big “okay…what else?”. unfortunately, unlike those movies, this ending really doesn’t feel earned or impactful in anyway that it might’ve been if you actually gave a shit about anything that was going on — especially the characters.

I understand that the story itself is short, however I would still not recommend this book. The lack of compelling or likeable characters and the unexplored themes made it hard for me to enjoy this book.
