The author's imagery was almost artistic at times, which made the premise of the story that much more intense.

The writing style at first made me think I wasn't going to like this book but Jesus Christ does it pick up.
I could write an essay on the writing of this book. My only gripe was starting out but other than that holy shit

Depends on your interpretation!
Amanda has been going through it. Hearing noises, seeing things, behavior untypical for her.
Is she coming into her own, or is it something much more sinister?
Come Closer by Sara Gran is unsettling in that it's not written like horror. It's straightforward, with a relatable main character.
It's a quick and excellent creepy read. Recommended!
