It's creepy all over.
The terror starts right from the start of the story. The ending is realistic

since there seems to not be any way out from the curse

The only let down is there's no explanation of why and how the curse happen. I'd love to read some back story about the devil and how he choose his victims.

Another awesome read from Anya! I did not see the end coming at all. Had me guessing what was really happening the whole time. I really enjoyed this one and can't wait to read even more of hers!

This book had me hooked from the very beginning. My only wish is that I had saved this read for October. It was the perfect spooky read. 

I will say that I hated our main male character. It was never really explained why he couldn’t say anything about his past. So it was frustrating when he had moments he could speak up and didn’t.

It was good, but I was a little disappointed since I was expecting more creepy and scary stuff to happen. And the husband really irked me in this book. Like why did he let it get this far and do nothing at first? The ending isn't bad; I was hoping it would go in the other direction, but it's not, which is sad and tragic, to be honest.

Anyway, if you love horror and need a fast-paced read, I highly recommend this book.

I think it was well written/read. Reads like a film and is quite predictable but horror tends to be that way. 

Removed a point and a half because of animal death and the description of the other deaths in here
