⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Was skeptical at first. The dread is in the pacing, not in gore, which is exactly how I like it. Not a jump-scare book; it gets under the skin and stays there. The cover feels thinner than expected. Still worth having on the shelf.
This has been on my wishlist for months. The dread is in the pacing, not in gore, which is exactly how I like it.
