Disappointed. I loved this author’s retail horror novel but this one missed the mark for me. It had interesting themes it seemed like he wanted to explore but terrible execution. 

Also there were just too many instances of racist remarks or events that were completely unnecessary  in connection to the story. Why did we, the reader, need to know about the MC’s dad having a porn fetish for black women and then have it written off as a ludicrous joke and why is there a “slave day” at the MC’s school? None of this is ever mentioned later or adds to the story.
