This is a book where I wish I’d read it before seeing the film, but I still enjoyed it. The original story is better, and I was still able to enjoy the twists.
A solid entry in the horror genre. I found the folklore interesting. I wish it was explored a bit more, actually! Though there is a second book, so this could be intentional.
It is slow in paces. As the locations are limited it feels like you’re boxed in at times. However, I think avoiding this would be hard to do with the story that is being told here.
All in all, a good read that had me eager to turn the pages.

This was so much fun omg. I loved the concept and it was so perfectly eerie. The pacing could’ve maaaybe been a little better but it didn’t really detract from my enjoyment at all. The ending left me wanting for a lot more though 😭 I’m so glad the yellow one existed in this universe, it was the sweetest touch and made me happy in moments that were really tense

A fantastically creepy, chilling story. It's a great one of you want something thrilling without gore ir body horror. I really love a modern book that adds in twists of folk lore. Some things in the plot you can see a mile off but it does not negate from the fantastic story.
