This novel is not your regular horror story and I loved that. It was weird, twisty, and honestly such a fun read. There were parts that dragged for me and the characters at times behaved really awkwardly (especially Maddie, who seems like the perfect manic pixie dream girl grown up…) which didn’t make this a 5 star for me, hence the 3 stars. I wouldn’t recommend this to everyone either, but to readers that love horror and don’t mind picking up one that crosses so many genres.

What I didn’t like was the characterization. The characters felt flat and voices didn’t sound distinct. Everyone seemed to have the same personality - just slightly tweaked by their respective backgrounds.
This was also why I felt the narrative lagged. I just wasn’t really interested in the frequent internal monologues from the protagonists. These monologues also took most of the tension out of the story as almost all of the characters’ motivations were spelled out.
All in all an interesting concept but ultimately an unrewarding read for me.
