5.0

Couldn't put this one down. An absolutely harrowing tale of vicious revenge and trauma cycles. An ending so perfect and emotional that I am devastated, absolutely devastated. 

Perfect for fans of horror, both classic and modern. Skillful use of conventions without slipping into cliche, more a respectful nod to the history of a genre that Jones is clearly a fan of as well as contributor to.

I often struggle to write 5 star reviews, words feel inadequate, but please take my speechlessness as the highest endorsement I'm capable of giving.
