Tugs on your heart strings...... Definitely a good story..
Scary / unsettling / upsetting. 

That end page will stay with me.... Questions of what if?

WOW! This story tied up nicely in one creepy bow! At first I was confused on how all of these stories were going to tie together but the author did an amazing job at pulling it all together in the end. This is definitely a story I will not soon forget.
