I don’t like giving low reviews so I put it higher than what I wanted to, but I will say this:
It wasn’t a bad book, I liked the idea. I think taking a supernatural turn is cool and different but I just felt a bit let down. Maybe it’s because I’ve read a lot of true crime stuff that I usually don’t expect that sort of thing, or maybe I just wanted it to be something more. I felt that the characters were bland and predictable. Once the mystery of the story was revealed, I waited for some other twist, only to be disappointed. Some things didn’t really make sense at times, some parts I had to force myself to keep reading. The ‘secrets’ some characters had were just stupid, while others I understood why. While reading, I felt that the concept of the story would actually work well in a video game, like until dawn. You’ve got a set of characters trapped in a creepy place, trying to save them from the end, add in the supernatural stuff and you got yourself a dope game. All in all, i liked the idea, just wish the writing was better(In a plot sense).
