A review by tuai

Liked it more than I thought I would. Goodreads reviews are wild, as always.
I liked the main characters, I thought the family and relationship dynamic was really interesting, and the ways grief and guilt and love and hatred converged made for a rich backstory. The terror/supernatural element pulled, in my opinion, from way too common places. The nursery rhymes, the black eyes, the disembodied giggles, the evil children speaking sweetly. I feel like I've seen that a thousand times, and I don't really read a lot of horror. But it was effective, it was very creepy, and the tension at the end really got me.
All in all pretty enjoyable!
