⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
A friend from my book club recommended it. The prose is clean and the scares land because the characters feel real. Great value for what you get.
Was skeptical at first. Read it in two sittings; the second one ran past midnight. Glad I finally picked this up.
Was skeptical at first. It is the kind of horror that rewards reading with the lights on. My only regret is not ordering it sooner.
