I really enjoyed the first two thirds of the book, but the final third was such a let down. The unsettling vibe was completely abandoned for some villain-esque monologues - overall an amazing start but a disappointing end.

Creepy, terrifying, gory, everything I like in a book! The second half is batshit insane, and the ending is a bit WTF? But I loved it. Surreal and spooky, and a short read.
