This book was as addicting as a Ruby Slipper...iykyk

Maybe a touch too long, and I kept feeling like this was an apple retelling of Needful Things, but still enjoyable. The villain was interesting and the heroes were flawed.

Wendig did it again. His books are dark, but holy moly they move.
Loved it. Great start to my reading year.

This was everything I hoped it would be … absolutely disgusting in the best way possible, with a bonkers plot and well-written, achingly real characters. With a side of rumination on the human condition. Chuck forever.
