Not as good as The Children on the Hill imo, I found the character development in that one superior. Even so, this is a super solid horror read with a lot of suspense and a memorable sister relationship.

I really enjoyed this!! I don’t typically read things that have a supernatural element but now I’m going to start seeking more out. I picked this up at the airport when I had nothing else to read, so I had very little expectation for it, but I really loved it. I do think the ending could’ve had an extra twist or something to it, but overall it was a really fun read.
