"very slow paced, the ending felt very dragged- but!! it was the first book that made me like. scared.
important comment: as someone with adhd, this was a very very difficult book to read, i had to re-read a lot of the pages and paragraphs and it made me frustrated at times; not entirely sure why, but it’s important to add"
"Great book!!! "

"This was a bit of a slow start, but I trust in Darcy Coates so I followed her to the finish and I’m so glad I did! I wasn’t as spooked as I would like through the initial horror scenes, but to say it picked up would be an understatement.<br/><br/>But what I really appreciated here was the “history” woven in, and the parallels I drew from the story to events that I find problematic in our nation’s history. Sometimes I get more value from my perception of a story than the actual intent, but that’s the beauty of being a reader. And horror is an excellent way to lend a lens. I will continue to follow the author’s career, though I may be slightly more discerning for pacing!"
