This is a book that I took time to really appreciate.Â
The first half of it (that’s the first 200 pages!) were just ok. It’s a bit slow and I did not care too much for the characters.Â
For a moment, I even thought about not finishing the book, because I felt that this was not what I expected from the story.Â
But then it becomes more intriguing and you feel that there is more to it.Â
When you enter the last third of the book, it becomes hard to leave it.Â
I wished the slow part of the begining was not that long, because it’s all well written and you feel the creepy atmosphere building up.Â
In the end, the book kept its promises, it’s a fun and creepy horror novel, with a good dose of paranormal, and a light touch of gory details (very light, but I guess it can be triggering for some people)
So I would recommend it, if you are ready to spend some time on the first part which is less exciting and a bit long to my taste.Â
The second half of it really deserves a good 4 stars.

HTSAHH was a slower burn and much of the action happened in the final third, an issue i also had with Hendrix’s other two novels i’ve read - however i enjoyed the lead up and storyline of the other two much more. with this novel i was disinterested in the characters and struggled to develop attachments to them, making the read feel like a slog.
