I'm a gal who needs a bit more characterisation to enjoy her horror. Not to defend this book, because really it just wasn't very good. The writing is super basic, the characters all feel like the same person, and there seemed to be no real reason for all the brutality. I love a bit of gore, but it just had zero effect on me at all in this. I think that there is an audience for thriller/horror, and I'm just not it.
