Not connecting with the writing style.  Having a hard time connecting to the story.

This is a really incredible book. Beautifully threads the genre savvy trope needle and has an absolutely whirlwind ending.

I wish this book had turned into a 5-star read, but it started to drag in the middle and then all the action happened at once. Until that point it didn’t really feel like a horror book. So, there were definitely a few issues, but as a whole I felt like the characters were very real and Jade was a great protagonist. Definitely worth a read.

This was a heavy slow burn horror. I think if I had more “slasher” knowledge I would have enjoyed it more.
