Overall not my favorite dark horror read. The story was an interesting concept but not anything that interesting once you continued to read the book. I liked some of the gore. The fact that children are killed in this book was actually refreshing in a way. It really gave me the sense that this was serious and that no one was safe, not even the kids. The rating was low for this because I struggled with the book just not being interesting aside from what I found interesting. I might give the book another go, but only time will tell.
