I absolutely LOVED this book! This is the first horror book that I have read in a while that was actually horror and didn't have a twist that turned what seemed like horror into something more akin to mystery or a thriller. 

The book kept me guessing at what was coming, even making me feel like I was starting to go crazy at times as I felt like I had misremembered something that happened previously. It was suspenseful, spooky, weird, and utterly awful in the best ways! I did NOT see the ending coming and I absolutely love it for that! 

Easily the best horror book that I have read in a long time, hands down.
