I really wanted to read a horror story, just to try if it was my cup of tea or not. 🍵
Overall I enjoyed the story, I liked the dark atmosphere and the plot twist at the end was not predictable at all. Also, since I've never read a horror novel before, that kind of story was very new and interesting for me.
:)
However, I didn't have an emotional attachment to the characters, therefore I wasn't always that scared for them, nor did I feel any other strong emotions while reading.
