It’s a good horror story. I foolishly jumped into this after reading books with more romantic undertones so I had a massive shift in tone to adjust to and that’s the only real issue I had with this book, yes I’m aware it’s entirely of my own creation. Aside from that I really enjoyed the descriptions, they created really vivid images and I always enjoy cool imagery :)
