Rated Up. My rating 3.5/5
A friend sent me the link to this book off Twitter and I love a good horror story.
I think it has a really good, strong start. I was hooked after reading just the sample, which was the first two chapters. We are introduced to two different characters at this time in different points in time. The pacing is pretty steady and really ramps up in the third act (as it should). I found myself a bit confused at times. The main story follows the main character, Abe, but you get little excerpts here and there from supporting characters. I did find it hard to keep track of who was who at times. Great work at weaving in the comedy and making it disturbingly dark at times.
Overall, decent quick read.

Such a fun, witty read! A small town teeming with mystery, and one man somehow caught in the middle. This book has ghosts, corruption, serial killers, and more. There were instances that had me genuinely laughing out loud, and other parts that got dark and disturbing pretty fast. I really enjoyed this book, and the author certainly has a talent for weaving humor effortlessly into the story. Definitely recommend this one.
