I started off liking this more than these twisted things. The plot moved well and kept me on my toes, but then the actual explanation of why these events happened, made no sense/were overly complicated and confusing. When you start bringing in physics to explain your horror novel, you lose me. I liked the banter between Kara and Simon and I loved all the parts of beau following Kara around, love cats

Not my favorite from Kingfisher, but that’s probably because I was so dang scared the whole time. Fantastic writing, as ever, and great characters with bright, light moments of levity. All of that was overshadowed by the  Lovecraftian terror, but I think that was the point.
