Slow to start but a great book. Like others, I feel there’s something missing at the beginning but the ending is great and ties everything together.

I really liked this one! A lot of red herrings throughout the reading. Every time I thought I figured it out another twist happens! Honestly, I think I should have seen it coming but I’m glad I didn’t. Made the read even better!

Good story but I was able to figure the killer about halfway through. Not a bad thing just predictable. I do agree with some that the ending felt a bit rushed and you are left on a cliffhanger. But I think you can assume what happened.

Wow! This was f**king great! I was immediately hooked. It's a fantastic campy horror that scared me and made me laugh. You might get upset with the characters at times, but that's how I knew I loved the novel. It drags you in emotionally!

 I really liked this book at the beginning and the end but towards the middle it kind of fell off for me.
It’s not a bad book at all. Stephen King is a great writer. It’s just hard for me to focus on with all of the detail and character development he writes. 

It’s a mystery thriller with supernatural components which make for an interesting read. I’m familiar with a lot of supernatural beings so I was able to “mostly” guess what it was but not exactly. 

I would still recommend this to others!
