I so wanted to like this book. I absolutely love horror and got most of the never ending references to horror movies. However, this book is a complete mess. The beginning is great, in my opinion it’s actually the best part of the book. It just goes way down hill after that.

It doesn’t even tie up a huge red herring. But I’m not sure if he actually was a red herring because you actually see him killing and disposing of the bodies. The supernatural “twist” close to the end was not needed at all and the actual ending completely sucked for me.
