A thrilling mystery with supernatural horror elements.
This book could've been a much darker horror novel, except the MC was such a cinnamon roll.
I enjoyed this unexpected facet as it added a softer emotional tone to the standard horror fare. While one might find themselves yelling at the MC to stop ignoring his instincts and run like hell, his motives for enduring all he does are both heartbreaking and heartwarming in equal measure. He's a genuinely good soul; a light to the darkness.
This was my first book by this author, but they've got me intrigued with their narrative style and I'm looking forward to reading more.
