Darcy Coates is amazing. Everything about this story made me feel uncomfortable & unsettled in the best way. I couldn’t stop reading & had to force myself to slow down because I was trying to read as fast as I could.

This was one of my most anticipated releases of the year! It’s not gonna make my top 5 list of favorite Darcy Coates books, but it was still awesome. It was a little less gripping than I’m used to (typically I cannot physically put a Darcy Coates book down), but as always, the characterization was superb. So many horror novels don’t focus on characterization, but Darcy is a master at it. The Jackrabbits were a wonderful group. Abby was so brave and a worthy heroine. Rhys was so lovable. Connor was my absolute favorite, the goof. And holy heck, the Stitcher was an awesome villain. Especially in the last quarter of the book, my eyes were glued to the page as the final mysteries were unveiled.
