I honestly expected more of a horror story featuring ghosts. I ended up with a commentary on drug abuse and addiction. Which wouldn't be so bad if I wasn't expecting something else entirely. I'm usually one with a strong stomach (I have to be as a trauma nurse) but this sickened me so much, it's a miracle I got through it.

I didn't like this at all. I don't know why I finished it. Stubborn I guess.

For one, I just couldn't relate with Erin at all. Her psychotic dependence on Silas was annoying and inexplicable. I understand it's a commentary on addiction, but all the characters just sucked so much.

Also, the author has a choking fetish or something because, boy howdy, did they use the word "throat" excessively and repeatedly depict and describe choking.

Final word, it was upsetting and not worth the message. idk
