tl;dr i love Peter Clines. skip this one.
i've read most everything he's written -- nothing better than '14' in my opinion -- and often times his books are a nice little romp with quirky characters getting into shenanigans they didn't ever expect to get into.. this was sort of that but far fewer characters. and one of the two main characters was far too unlikable for my taste. it took me 3+ months to get through this one, and i was hoping/expecting to breeze through it in one month. easily my least favorite of his novels, though he has garnered more than enough good will with me to continue reading anything he's willing to put out.
