Let Him in by William Friend

3.0

This is an interesting one but didn't take it all the way for me. Let Him In weaves aspect of psychology, grief, religion, and the supernatural. There are a lot of bricks laid, but I don't know that they all built up to a solid foundation. The narrators are unreliable, and the story itself quickly becomes quite ambiguous. Sometimes I don't mind that, but in this case I think I would have liked more clarity in at least some places. It moved quite quickly towards the end and didn't necessarily leave me dissatisfied or satisfied - really just meh.
