Darcy Coates has such a beautiful way of writing that almost everything sounds compelling in her style. This was eerie and haunting but mysterious and thrilling, I had goosebumps while reading this. The plot was executed well and the characters were fleshed out perfectly.

Complicated
The best horror I've ever read. Coates wastes not a single page before drawing her reader in to this dark story that seems impossible to escape from.
I don’t hate it and to be fair this isn’t really a genre I ready much anymore. The plot was interesting enough that I finished it, but I do wish the characters had been more fleshed out and more time/ pacing given to the reveal and conclusion. This may seem like being overly critical, but given the hold these events are meant to have on the town overall itself, I do wish more time had also been spent on really describing and getting a better sense of the town. Maybe this is just me as I mostly read fantasy where much time is spent on world building.

Pretty creepy for a YA book!! I enjoyed this story even in a few slower parts between the action. Definitely some stranger things vibes!!
A mysterious killer has lurked for decades, leaving its victims stitched back together in horrendous ways, while Abby and her friends grow up with the constant threat of being taken and returned as gory remnants; growing up and getting out of town to not be the next victim is the goal of every teenager.
This started as a very promising read, but I had a hard time feeling afraid of the Stitcher and felt the book lagged a bit toward the middle. I enjoyed the characters and the dynamics between them, but the villain seemed just too far fetched for me to suspend my disbelief.
