LOVED this book! It took me a couple of chapters to get into it because to be honest it's not the straight horror fest the reviews on the covers make it out to be, at it's worst (for me at least) this book was more unsettling than scary. Not that there's anything wrong with that, just that if that's what your expecting you might not find it here.
My reading experience was really fun with this book! I got a kick out of recognizing characters from previous chapters and trying to piece together everyone's relationship with the horrors they were experiencing. This is one of the few books where the minute I put it down I couldn't wait to pick it back up for a reread where I could better take notes and check for any missed information.
If you loved The Magnus Archives, you'll like this.
