Super slow and repetitive and the narrator wasn’t the best. Ending fell flat for me.

Rachel has taken the cake for worst character I've ever read. I've never met a character I wanted to smack upside the head more, but then Rachel would probably like that 🙄 She was by far the worst character in the whole book, and literally every character was horrible except for the damn 6 year old. She was more a rookie than an police chief and was just constantly being an asshole to every single person. She was a straight up psychopath with zero character development. Finn was horrible too, but at least he was somewhat sympathetic.
This book, in whole, was just constant annoyance. People were just screaming at each other and jumping down each other's throats the whole time. The townspeople were just flat and stereotypical. The setting was vague and under-developed (sad and disappointed Virginian right here). The pacing was horrible; imagine a rollercoaster with a huge incline and the shortest drop. The horror felt like it was on the cusp of being creepy but the tension and atmosphere was severely underdeveloped. At least it got me the goodreads challenge.

This book went full throttle and I'm hella impressed with this debut novel that isn't afraid to be a horror novel. Creepy, fast paced, and unforgiving... I loved it! I can't wait to see what this author does next.
