I flew through this one, couldn’t put it down.  The star of the show here is of course, Holly Gibney.  I’m excited to continue reading her story and getting to know her better.

I don’t think there was any real standout plot here, just your run-of-the-mill King novel and those are stories I continue to read and love doing so.

I did like how the villain here has origins in Mexican folklore (and maybe others?).  It wasn’t a creature I’d heard about before.
