I read this a few years back, loved it, and since I didn’t finish writing a review last time here it is. This is one of the few books that can scare me while reading and a second read through was no different. The characters are not too large of a cast to remember and even better is that they feel like fully flushed out characters. The horror elements focus on dread, creeping evil, and paranoia rather than gore or violence. Its really impressive to be as scary as it is without directly showing readers these things.
I will note that the book is slow paced and for some that will be hard to get past. For me though, it felt like the perfect creeping horror building up to the end. The main evil in the book is slowly revealed and although the author gives more background information near the end, the “final boss” is not delt with in this book. I only wish we got another book in this storyline before the author passed. This book is a five star for me as I just enjoy it.
