Tilly Parker struggles through work and her mother's watchful eye while dealing with her husband's recent suicide, when on accident, she finds she can circumvent the grief by calling his cell phone and leaving him endearing messages. This false hope, this unhealthy progression mounts to obsession, until one day instead of getting a voicemail, something answers on the other side, something beyond what we can see and feel, something hungry. Now, plagued by grisly manifestations and a sleepy town that is more than just cornfields and small-minded attitudes, Tilly must now face her dead husband's life-threatening past and battle the monsters he couldn't anymore.
I guess this wasn't what I expected. I didn't feel the depth of emotion that I thought I would, and I felt like there were some loose ends left throughout the book that left me somewhat unsatisfied. Great premise - perhaps needing a better execution.
