Extremely scattered plot that never really pulls itself together. I really wanted to like it, and thought I would in the end, but gave up hope 3/4 of the way through. Had lots of potential to really use horror as a way of navigating grief, which is what I think it was trying to do, but it left me pretty disappointed. I still don’t understand what happened with the ending. Semi solid beginning, strong body, poor finish. I have hope that the author can produce better works in the future.
