How had I never heard of this book until now?!?!?! This was absolutely phenomenal. I haven’t had so many strong emotions to a book in such a long time. I was physically gasping, clutching my face like the frickin kid in Home Alone, or laughing out loud, or sobbing. The tension ramped up to 100 by 50% in and then it just didn’t let up. The entire last half of the book was peak fear, suspense, horror, with just a tiny thread of hope that somehow they could pull through this to keep you going through it all. I am wrecked. I am exhausted. I want to reread this immediately, but I have to move on to its sequel first. Which I will be doing, right now. I’m so mad this one somehow flew under my radar for the last ten years, but thank my every lucky star that LitJoy is doing a special edition set of these soon so that I finally learned of their existence. This shit is top tier.
