Customer Reviews

The beginning was alright but the end didn’t explain much and was rushed.

It started out descriptive and spooky but the further you get the less gets explained. There’s gross stuff in there for grossness sake it feels like, it doesn’t make any sense. The ending of the book is quick and strange. It didn’t feel worth reading because of that.
