3.0

It’s an average horror story, the ending is way too predictable if you think about the role of each character. Could be better, not the absolute worst. It’s a good fast read, took me about 2 hours 

Personally, I’m  familiar with horror stories in movies and literature so this was just way too predictable. Content wise it’s pretty depraved, but it’s not the absolute craziest stuff IF you frequent this genre often. Character development is definitely present, so don’t listen to the reviews saying no. It’s simply not developing in the morally upstanding direction. Lori certainly changes, as well as Abby.
