A horror book novel that actually has a plot and is really well written. So many conflicting feelings as a reader because everyone's actions are so unforgiveable but Ahlborn's writing has so much depth it's hard to not feel sorry for the MC.

 Pretty good pace. Medium gore. Definitely fucked up. Plot twists were somewhat predictable but not completely obvious. It's a pretty good read; I would recommend it for those who are into horror.

It’s just… very disturbing. It would make a great, albeit dark, movie.

This book destroyed me emotionally <3 and I love it. What an ending! The kind of story that keeps you thinking about it long after you've finished the book.
