I almost DNFed it. I was reading it by audiobook so I guess that's what saved it. 11hours and a half and only the last 4 were interesting... I wouldn't say it's a horror book, no. I would say physiological thriller describes it best. I guessed some of the plot twists, although they kept unravelling so I wouldn't call it a very predictable book. I do think it's unique. Especially since we get the cat's pov too. I also can appreciate that it's not an easy book to write, I know it took hard work. So it's a solid read for me but not something I would pick up again.
