All of the 5 star reviews on Amazon have to be fake. This book was terrible. It was an interesting concept and the first couple of pages actually hooked me. It went downhill from there though.

The dialogue between the characters was cringey and awkward. The writing terrible. There were so many spelling and grammar errors (at least one per page).

Let's talk about the outlandish plot events too. I knew going into it that there would be some supernatural elements and that's not what I have a problem with. There's one point in the story where the main characters attempt to save their friend by giving him a blood transfusion. All 3 characters have their blood drawn for this person. You're telling me that all three characters happened to have the same blood type as this guy and they all knew it? Okay. Then later they inject holy water into this guy's veins!!! 😳

And the end?? Literally nothing is resolved.

Overall it could have been a good story with some very heavy editing, but it fell very flat.

Captivating thriller

I just wrapped up reading this captivating thriller and I couldn't put it down! The story centers around James and his best friend, Long, as they confront James's traumatic past and seek justice. The plot is packed with supernatural creatures and nonstop suspense. Each chapter presents a new challenge or sets up the next dangerous situation. The vivid descriptions and well-developed characters really bring the emotional and tense narrative to life. If you're in the mood for unexpected twists and a unique storyline.

ewwwww

OK this was quite the ride. If you like psychological and scary thrillers, this is a great choice. The writing is ominous and creepy and keep you going with every return of the page.
