For my first Bentley Little book I found this very entertaining! I don't know why but from the cover I got a completely different first impression than what the book turned out to be. I found this completely wacky and out-there, almost like everybody in the resort was on a wild cocktail of drugs but it had me laughing out loud for a lot of it.
The mystery factor kept me reading this book as at times it started to feel a longer than what it needed to be, especially has you get past the midway point, I had absolutely no clue what was causing all of these insidious things to happen for a good part but once Bentley introduced a certain character, and the discovery of the second location, things started rapidly falling into place and I could see a plot developing.
For a horror book I found this a rather fun read! If anything its made me want to read more of Bentleys books in future.
