This book was not enjoyable at all.. to be fair I did laugh a couple times but that was because I felt like I was going insane. The characters were flat, their relationships with one another felt meaningless and rushed, every stereotype under the sun was chucked in there too alongside other overused horror tropes. The writing was just baffling, the perspective jumps were jarring and ruined any chance of tension + the reader is literally told the entire backstory and origin of the threat through letters. The characters don't find anything themselves and instead luckily run into someone who can tell them everything! The primary villain is cartoonish and so annoying it makes my brain explode, the 'others' are not even in the book so that's wonderful. The plot itself felt obvious too. I want to cry.
..Apologies for the disorganised 'review', it's almost 1am and I just needed to get all my thoughts out so I could sleep without my brain exploding. <3
Rated using the CAWPILE sytem. :3

Books usually lose me when it introduces anything even slightly sci-fi/paranormal, but this was done in a way that it didn't take me out of the story or make me roll my eyes. The only thing I didn't enjoy were the journal entries. I think they were too conveniently revealing. I would have appreciated the older entires to be written in an older language because they all read the same no matter the year. But they were still interesting and added enough value that I don't want to detract it from my rating.
