Such a fun read. Feels like an episode of Supernatural on steroids.
Fast-paced writing and an entertaining cast of well fleshed-out characters. Sentence pacing was perfect, the chapters were all a good length, no scene felt like it was taking too long; even in the beginning before the action takes place. And the first line?!? A flawless hook.
Never knew what was going to happen next, yet once it happened it made perfect sense. Not a single character felt out of place, which is honestly rare these days in horror: there wasn’t any character who was there solely to fill a trope. Everyone truly had their own purpose both in the story and in other’s character arcs.
Jeff Strand is a talented writer. Will be reading more books of his in the future.
