dark emotional tense

I picked this up on the grounds that I enjoyed Wylding Hall. Maybe I'd like another creepy book about musicians and the supernatural. I was a bit worried this would be too scary... WH isn't really horror. This book definitely gets more intense with the violence and gore. It's also more intense with the love and passion for music, though which I appreciated.

I'm not completely sure the ending works. I don't like ending a book not understanding exactly how the heroine's actions saved the day.

This book was a trip. I felt like I was going to vomit multiple times through it. It was very good, and I would read another of his novels, but boy was it hard to get through and a little traumatizing

I kept feeling like this was building towards something more exciting but ultimately it felt anticlimactic.

Essentially this book is a horrific road trip story and Woodstock 1999 retelling with supernatural elements and despite that sounding interesting it really takes this concept nowhere. It just feels like an exploration of failed dreams and frustrations that don’t add up to anything truly horrific. The only thing horrific in this were men taking advantage of and harming women but that’s mostly glossed over and I can’t quite figure out why this book ended in as boring of a way as it did.
