The actual drawings included in this book made it go from good to great. Definitely an engaging read and I didn’t predict the ending.

5.0

This was creepy - some of the pictures made me gasp as I turned the pages. The first night I read this, I got so freaked out I had to stop and put the book away. I hardly read horror though so I might've overreacted. The plot was intriguing and I kept guessing if the scenes were truly paranormal or some sort of hallucinations, or maybe even deliberate acts to throw the whole story off. I kept flip-flopping between different theories and loved every moment of it!

This was an enjoyable read, I liked Mallory’s character a lot because it makes for the best sort of questionable narration. You know she’s clean so none of what she’s experiencing can be blamed on her using drugs or anything like that so you know it’s real. Unfortunately I predicted where the story was headed early on or I probably would’ve rated it higher. Overall, it’s a great book with a decent twist, but if you’re like me and you pay attention to every little detail you might see the ending coming.
