My only struggle with this was that the author writes in third person omniscient and switches perspectives without chapter or page breaks. So on the same page, you'll get the thoughts and feelings of multiple different characters. Especially when first being introduced to the characters, being in one person's thoughts and then suddenly another's was a bit of whiplash and just generally confusing because there were so many characters to get to know.

This book was not enjoyable at all.. to be fair I did laugh a couple times but that was because I felt like I was going insane. The characters were flat, their relationships with one another felt meaningless and rushed, every stereotype under the sun was chucked in there too alongside other overused horror tropes. The writing was just baffling, the perspective jumps were jarring and ruined any chance of tension + the reader is literally told the entire backstory and origin of the threat through letters. The characters don't find anything themselves and instead luckily run into someone who can tell them everything! The primary villain is cartoonish and so annoying it makes my brain explode, the 'others' are not even in the book so that's wonderful. The plot itself felt obvious too. I want to cry.
..Apologies for the disorganised 'review', it's almost 1am and I just needed to get all my thoughts out so I could sleep without my brain exploding. <3
Rated using the CAWPILE sytem. :3
