Always have been fascinated with the idea of abandoned staircases in forests, creepy yes, but there is something eerily fascinating about them. Then again it may be due to my creepy pasta phase.
Anyways, the book captivated me from the beginning with the characters and the whole disappearance of their friend Matty, however, halfway through I did start to lose momentum as I found the story arc and happenings a bit redundant with the changing of rooms and then the possession. However, the ending was intriguing and reads a bit like a movie ending of tbc.
Enjoyable book for one who likes friendships, fear, and twisting labyrinth of rooms and creepy happenings
