I liked this book but I didn't love it. The eerie atmosphere was done well, and for a debut, it was very well-written. Honestly, the characters was where this book fell short for me. With some dumb decisions (looking at you, Ricky) and some lack of development, I was just very “meh” with them, which detracted from the story. But if you're looking for a spooky, haunting kind of read with a college-aged protag, this is the one to read (I still fully recommend it). Debut novels always have the tendency to be a little more rough or underdeveloped and what not, and all that said, Kilcoyne did a good job and I did enjoy it, despite not being head over heels in love with it.
