It was kind of a drag to get through this book, which is unfortunate bc this had a lot of horror tropes I personally enjoy. However, I found the ending to be pretty well done and probably the only reason I didn’t give this book a lower score.

My opinion of this book really went downhill once it was revealed that Shelley was a huge creep via details I wish I didn’t have to read.

Rare that a book can introduce 7 characters to me right off the bat and I can keep track of all of them. They each had such a unique perspective, informed by such different experiences and dynamics, that it was easy to tell them apart. This book was also just plain good. Horrifying. And good. Trigger warnings abounds.
