I really wanted to like this book. But it definitely wasn't for me. It started out really good and caught my attention, but at about the halfway point, I realized that it wasn't at all what I thought it was.
This book is much less of a ghost story as it is a story about addiction. I can understand why people would enjoy this story, but it seemed to go all over the place (which I suppose is kind of what can happen with drug addiction) and never got to some of what I perceived to be main plots.
Also, I love horror. But this type of horror made me physically nauseous.
Overall, I can understand the appeal, but it really wasn't for me.
