3.0

This was the equivalent to all those horror movies that don’t have a good plot but have a lot of jump scares. I have to give this points for actually scaring me and making it hard to not turn more lights on while I was reading. However, the characters were insufferable: we spent so much time on their dysfunctional relationship. Also, the actual storyline was lacking real substance. A good short read when you need some spooky vibes but not one that is super memorable or special.
