The horror was great and the writing was atmospheric, immersive and sometimes funny.
But the family-dynamics and Annas dysfunctional relationship with her "loved ones" was by far the most engaging part of the book.
Anna as a character was very relatable in the way she was done being misunderstood by her parents and siblings, who actually hate her for simply being herself and painting her as someone she really isnt. To see these relationships unravel throughout the course of the book was just amazing
