This book wasn’t too bad, but I feel like it was a little slow. It wasn’t as scary as I was hoping, but I’m not scared easily by this type of horror.
It finally picked up for me at about the final 100 pages.

This books isn’t fast it’s an incredibly slow burn but it builds the tension so well, and I enjoyed it. Though at some places it did drag a little and took me longer to read than I was expecting. The characters were great for the most part flawed but they feel real even when unlikable. I love story that takes place in basically one setting, and this one did a great job not feeling to stale.
