Really enjoyed this book! Quick and fun read to set the mood for halloween, although sometimes felt it was a little too quick and dramatic. Still, had a good time reading it :)

Felt proper bad for Amanda come the end bless x

So, so bleak. Brilliant as a little one-sit read. It can be very easy to get into OTT territory when it comes to horror but this is written in such a way that the sense of dread creeps up on you gradually until it totally envelops you.
