If you are on the hunt for a tense and morbid book to read - look no further. Lord of the Flies meets your most disgusting nightmares. I devoured this in a day because I NEEDED answers. This book was worth the heebie-jeebies!

Not for even the remotely faint of heart, I usually have a strong stomach for media like this but event I had to avoid the book for a couple of days when my real life got stressful.

It was very well-written and the concept was good, but there was too much detail. I learned too much about some of these characters, especially Shelley.
Overall, it was well-written and I genuinely enjoyed Max, Ephraim, and Newt. I don't think Kent's character was fleshed out enough for me to care about him. His father's character made more of an impact. I am not a religious person by any means, but I do think the author may benefit from Jesus and some therapy. In fact, I need therapy after reading this. My appointment is scheduled for three weeks from now. I'm not hopeful that I'll make it until then with this content wiggling around inside of my head.
