This was a quick read and enjoyable but didn’t evoke any strong emotions of wow factor for me. The premise was really interesting, and while the atmosphere was a little uncomfortable it never reached a point of being scary or unsettling. 

While it has horror themes it doesn’t have the feeling of a traditional horror story. Which may be where I was let down, I was expecting something more scary. 

It’s well written and a fairly unique story, but was just lacking something more for me to rate it higher.
