Too many of my trigger warnings and I really disliked the narrators voice for the audio book

Oookay. This one got me. I had to read it in brief chunks because it was scaring the F'ing sh*t out of me. It was so dang good!!! I love a book that centers around a creepy cult.
It was reminiscent (in a very good way) of Stephen King's "It" in the way of kids escaping the evil that lives under the city only to have to battle it again in adulthood.

Meh. That’s really all I can say about this book. It’s not necessarily a bad book, but it’s certainly not a good one.
I put it down several times to read other things. And when I did pick it up, I found myself rolling my eyes most of the time. I think the only reason I finished it was to see how it would end. And the end was underwhelming to say the least.
1.5 stars rounded up to 2.

It was okay. Everything felt very samey towards the end and I agree with other reviewers in that it could've been about 100 pages less.
