Another J. C Moore book that truly has kept me at the edge of my feet, and entertained and an absolute page turner. The plot was very creative and enjoyable and it definitely gave me the 80s horror movie vibes that was its primary mission. The only reason for why I gave it 4 stars, was because I felt like it again was slightly repetitive. That's all I can say about it. That's my own personal pet peeve but Moore has shown with every book I've read his talent, his wild imagination and his creativity at his finest. I'm also impressed at how interesting he makes his characters and the overall storyline for his books. Loved it all.
This was creepy little book! Even though it’s on the short side it really packs a punch. If you like violence & gore laced with ghosty vibes in short bursts then this is the book for you!
