Too descriptive of the gore from injuries, too many unnecessary deaths. I wanted to enjoy this book but all it did was read like a snuff film (book) where everyone dies for the sake of dying. Yes, there was a vengeful spirit, yes there was a few interesting things, but honestly, if you don't enjoy hardcore gore and horror, stay away.
