The suspense is amazing, I was tensed reading the whole book.

the end though - I was not prepared for it to be this sad. I also do wonder, is there gonna be a sequel? I really enjoyed Tyler's character development, he deserves better

I never knew where the plot was going next. Confusing, intriguing, different to anything else I’ve read.

This book was eerie and dark. The imagery of rotting and dead things was quite descriptive. The plot dragged a bit at times. Something still felt missing by the end of the book.
