This is a hard book for me to review as I'm not fond of the horror genre. Although I like trying new things, and when Aethon offered me a copy I snagged it... plus the narrator is great! I wasn’t expecting it to be a story about a family, and I could only take the story in small chunks, a few hours here, and a couple more there (even reading a couple of cozy's in between) then I girded my loins and now I'm attempting the review. Was the story intense? Yes, yes it was! And yes I'll be thinking about Julian and his father for a long time ⌛ thanks to this book.
