⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Salas constructs a tense atmosphere by juxtaposing the gritty reality of Atlantic City’s prohibition underworld with fluid, supernatural time travel. The concept of a demon hiding in plain sight as a distributor of illegal goods provides a fresh twist on traditional horror tropes. The narrative effectively builds dread through Abigail’s loss of control and subsequent temporal disorientation. While the premise is intriguing, the execution relies heavily on the tension between concrete criminal elements and abstract cosmic forces. This work suits readers who appreciate darker, psychological horror that challenges the boundaries of time and identity, rather than those seeking straightforward action or romantic subplots.
