I hated this book when I first started reading it. The main character is insufferable, there was too much sexual content for my liking, the dialogue is terrible, and I figured out both twists incredibly early on. It ended up growing on me though; it might not have been executed in the best way but the story was good, the characters were mostly likable, and there were some genuinely creepy moments that played out really well. Supposedly this is classified as “extreme horror” and I’m not a fan of that genre as a whole, but while it was a bit intense at times it never felt over the top or unnecessarily violent/gory. I think this author has a lot of potential and I’ll definitely give him another shot!
