I give this a solid 3 Stars.
Things I liked:
It gave me the creeps
Was fast paced.
Stressful because of the subject matter.
MFC was likeable.
Things I wasn't crazy about:
Vagueness. There were things that I understand why the author probably didn't want to spell out, but I feel with such a creepy subject it would have been valid to be a little more detailed about certain things. Also, I had to turn off my brain a few times questioning consistencies. I don't think some of the plot was thought through.
While I had a good time with this book and it was a very quick read I didn't enjoy the ending, I felt it was rushed, vague and left me with the feeling of needing a better epilogue. Also the inconsistencies bugged me.
