I thought the first book about this story was fucking horrifying but this one was even worse. We got an updated and deeper dive into the details and it just made me sick to my stomach. I’ll never get how humans can be so awful and twisted.

I’m always in for a haunted house story and I absolutely loved this one. I absolutely blew through it, I really couldn’t turn the pages fast enough. I really wasn’t expecting the ending either, it completely threw me and it’s always a bonus when a horror story can do that to me!

Just beyond horrifying. It’s hard to imagine one human can be so damn evil and commit such atrocious acts on others and on their own child. It gives me chills just thinking about it!

Holy freaking crap I absolutely LOVED this book! This story completely captured my attention from page one and I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough to find out what crazy twist the story would take next. It was everything my final girl loving heart wanted and more for the ending to this series. It reads like a slasher film, it’s tense and action packed and just doesn’t stop for a single second. Every single time I thought I had it all figured out another crazy mind blowing twist came to light that had my jaw dropping with shock. And I actually think it might be my favourite Stephen Graham Jones yet, it’s just that bloody brilliant. I could seriously go on and on about this book but just do yourself a favour and read it yourself, you won’t regret it! Read the whole damn series while you’re at it!

This book is absolute perfection. Everything about it from start to finish is just freaking perfect. It’s dark and insidious and I loved every single second of it. And that ending?! SHIVERS.
