The first part in the woods is very tense and interesting. The stalking creature is damn scary and the characters are flashed out really well. Unfortunately I feel that the second part of the book falls flat: the black metal band is honestly too stereotyped to be interesting and I felt like it killed the mood.
The book then gets better again near the endwith moder and the white children
Overall, i still enjoyed the book quite a bit. 4/5
