This book was a fine read. I agree with other reviewers that it's mostly misclassified -- more thriller than horror for sure. I didn't dislike the supernatural elements (though there weren't very many), and I didn't dislike the ending. I just wasn't super in love with the way everything came together. (I also hate an unnecessary sex scene -- this one was Not Helpful In Any Way for plot or character development, and didn't mesh with the rest of the book at all.) I did like the book, but I went into it wanting to like it a lot more than I ended up doing.
