Ok. So. Wow. This book is an absolute wild ride. It isn't too often that I read a mysterious thriller, but I always enjoy it when I do, and this was no exception. After powering through in a single session, this book kept me guessing at every turn.

A group of friends, with secrets thirty years in the making. Murder, mutilation, and death haunt the group, who are dragged back together by a familiar chalk man. I really do not want to even go into any more plot details, as it would be absolute spoiler central, but twists and turns abound in this dark, gruesome, and thrilling book.

Although one "twist" was pretty much telegraphed throughout, it was still shocking to see it come to a head. I need to read more thrillers now!
