"I really liked this book, read it in about 2 days. It was an interesting concept with a cool twist at the end, definitely something I’ve never seen before. It was also fast paced in a way that included lots of detail and never made you bored. Pretty gory in some parts, but it didn’t bother me. I was super excited to learn that there was a sequel, and I ordered it immediately after finishing. "

"The story was confusing at some parts, but it wasn’t slow and I read it really fast. I didn’t like the ending though, and I wish they expanded more on the idea of the messenger of fear."

"I read this a few years ago and it is an amazing book, I'd love to reread but I lost it! But I highly recommend it if you like highly detailed dark stories. "
