This was f*cked up lol. I’m not comfortable calling this romance, horror would be a better description. It was a good read overall, I liked the writing. The ending I’m a little confused about but I like slightly ambiguous endings. There were some mistakes though regarding the names of characters. It was a bit distracting but it wasn’t a big deal. Also the whole p*do subplot revealed towards the end was completely unnecessary and illogical considering what we knew of that character so far. But overall I’d consider this a good horror book.
Also brilliant cover!!
