This book kicks right off, wasting no time grabbing you and pulling you straight into the life of Mattie. It's definitely tense, and I'd honestly put it more into a thriller category vs 'horror' as is used in the description, but nonetheless it is good! 


Wish there was a tad bit more explanation of what the creature looked liked (maybe that's why I wasn't as terrified of it, it's description was a little lacking-besides the claws lmao.)

I would like to thank whoever it was that introduced me to this book because OH MY FUCKING GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've been longing for a book that would scare me and keep me at the edge of my seat and Christina Henry delivered. At no point throughout this entire story did I know what would happen next. Mind blown.
