Really exceeded my expectations!

Was expecting just some regular ghost haunting which would inevitably just kill everyone or the main character would live, but it would all take place in the home. This book really turns into an adventure for survival and has some decent character development!

3.75 i think? i really enjoyed this book, it was a perfect road trip story to read on a drive! there were some truly scary moments in this that really unsettled me, and i thought the premise and the direction it took was really original and interesting. i also loved the crazy ending, i thought it was pulled off nicely. joe hill is a great writer. however i had some issues with the female characters sacrificing themselves to teach the male lead a lesson... a little yikes. well written but has small hints of classic stephen king misogyny. would recommend to horror fans, i’m glad i finally got around to this.
