challenging dark tense

2.0

I only marked this down for my own records because I’m terrible with tension. However, if you aren’t, this is a very moving, scary, tense story, told from a unique viewpoint.

It took me a while to sit down and read this fully but when I finished I was glad I did. I enjoyed this despite boarder-line having an anxiety attack after every mention of Mr.Harvey. I think it’s a well written Book however and I would recommend reading it. Despite it being really sad and heartbreaking it was interesting to read about the Salmon family and to experience this loss with them.
