It's been a long while since I so thoroughly enjoyed and devoured a book in less than a week.

I loved the setting, the atmosphere, and the horror elements. The story makes you question if what's happening is truly supernatural or not; not only that but you start off feeling certain ways about certain characters and, by the end of the book, you find yourself feeling the exact opposite way about them. Any change of heart for any of the characters makes sense as we learn more about them, their lives, their reasonings, who they really are. They're all just so human and they have flaws. 

I will definitely check out more works by the author as this was an incredible read!
