Least enjoyable of the series. The fight with the main villain fell flat and was very short. The ending was unsettling, but overall I think the other books were better.

3.5 stars. Okay I just don’t feel like this series lived up to the hype. Each book was 200 pages too long and in this instance I didn’t like the full cast. As soon as you got into one characters story you got pulled away to someone else. Also there would be maybe five to ten goes of action and then NOTHING for chapters. Idk just wasn’t for me. I’m not mad I read the series but def not one I’ll be revisiting

I feel like Bray read nothing but Stephan King when writing those books because there are a lot of side things that are very reminiscent of his style. I think it's important to have an authorial voice and every time something like this would happen I would just think about how I'd rather be reading King. However the main characters and plot were Very YA, just painfully so, the characters just are so obnoxiously angsty and horny all the time and I didn't care one bit about any of them. The plot twist with the farm girl I saw coming a mile away and I felt like everything happened so fast. It was just BS for 350 pages and then you're being jerked around at breakneck speed like, "this happened and then this and this." The deaths felt so unearned because they weren't given the time of day because it was more important to move on to the next plot point as quickly as possible. When Theta first faced down Roy many books ago I was lowkey mad because I wanted her to kill him straight up. But she didn't because "sHe'S a GoOd PeRsOn" Bullshit, kill him. Then his stupid booty rolls up with his KKK homies in this books and nobody gets a smackdown. She just threatens him with fire again and goes through the same stupid monologue she states like 60 times an hour. Then he and his hooded hooligans get away without a scratch and I just want to see some nice corpses. And then one of the biggest issues I had with the book was that all the characters make the same Stupid Ass decision. Miss Addie brings the guy back and it's bad, Evie brings Mabel back and it's bad, and then Memphis in all his idiotic glory decides to bring Isiah back. I wont mention a certain author named Stephan King again but.... if you've read a certain Pet Semetary....
I'm just saying, it was like that, but with none of the subtly that Pet Semetary employs. This book made me angry so yeah.
