Love love loved this book! Couldn’t put it down, just love Sondergrens writing. However, I just can’t bring myself to forgive some of the plot holes, otherwise would have been a 5 star

Woo hoo this was a bloody fun ride. 

For what this book lacks in character depth and substance, it makes up for with body horror and absolute bloodbath moments. 

I predicted the twist fairly early on, but that did not stop me from giggling all the way through what was one of the most well deserved acts of revenge and justice I've read in a while.

Body horror and gore doesn't tend to bother me - however, if, uh, genital mutilation is a soft spot for you, I'd go ahead and skip this one.

We love Maggie in this house. Get yours, girl.

This is basically an 80s ghost slasher film condensed in 250 pages. The characters were serviceable, since the real stars here are the gore scenes and the monster, both were good!

Ultimately this was a little disappointing, largely because it's basically a B-horror movie in book form. The beginning had really good atmosphere and a promising set up but by the time it got to the actual horror, it was pretty basic slasher stuff, including comedy-horror situations which really don't appeal to me. At least the cover is amazing!
