Jonathan Sims does it again, demonstrating his skill in crafting a mystery that gradually comes together, sharpens, and builds towards an exhilaratingly horrifying finale. Beyond that, I never expected a horror novel to inspire me to seek out community and connect more closely with the people around me, but this one did it. 
My only point of critique is that
Mr Bill's Memory Prisons at the end
felt a little underexplored and like a slightly rushed addition for Plot Convenience, but not enough to break my suspension of disbelief.
All in all a ride that I could hardly put down!
