Review:

Oh my damn! Don't read this before bed or if you're alone because you will be very paranoid. 

I loved that the plot was held at the perfect pace, not dragging on but also not rushing through. I think this is perfect for everyone's Halloween TBR or if you just want something creepy RIGHT NOW and you should. My only problem was that the closer I got to the end I could kind of see what was going to happen. 

I really liked how all of the characters were used throughout the story. I love when an author puts their characters in specific roles and keeps them playing it for the entirety of the story. Also, I loved that we have a trans character in the story, Max, but I love it even more because Max isn't put on a pedestal just for being trans. We still get to read and not be reminded on every page that he's mention on about his sexual orientation. 

This is one of the creepiest books I've ever read and it ended in true horror movie fashion.
