3.7 AVERAGE

mysterious medium-paced

About 3/4ths through the book I was sure this was going to fizzle out under the weight of its promises like Lost. But instead something sad and suitably creepy happened! Took too long getting there for me though. The narrators in the ephemera portions sounded like they had been directed to sound like actors reading lines which was weird.

Grief is a sneaky bitch….
I really loved the format of the book with multiple narrators and time periods that unravel the mystery. The introduction is also quite gripping and I felt the same level of intrigue throughout the journey. The audiobook production was also excellent!

This book reads like if Midnight Mass and It had a baby and then that baby married Head Full of Ghosts and had this baby book. I couldn’t put it down and am eager to see what else the author comes up with!

Interesting

Just meh. I again was suckered into a book by some ad and the cover artwork. Somewhat intriguing story. Less then stellar execution though. Characters are all somewhat flat. And the amount of loopholes - even fit a fantasy horror sci fi novel - is endless. I need to learn my lesson in buying books based on the cover.

3.5 stars, rounded up for the vibes. Atmospheric. Eerie. Read like Goosebumps for adults. Ending fell a liiiiiiiittle flat but it was a fun debut novel.

A fun, if somewhat predictable found footage horror romp. It did legitimately creep me out a few times. I think the ending could have been a little less rushed.
