This book is one I pick up and read in chunks, though I’m working through it tonight. It’s dark and eerie, slow to an extent - but it’s writing style is beautiful and the messages are crafted interestingly. I think I’ve reached the make or break point! I wish the main characters were more open by this point, but I do care for them! The sense of unease and fear in every page remains unmatched.

The tone of this book; sad, dark, eerie, seeps so heavily through the pages and up your arms while you’re reading it. It’s chilling and unsettling and leaves every paragraph full of suspense or unease. I love Effy so far, though I wish her character had a little *more*. I’ve no idea what’s going to unfold but I’m really looking forward to seeing.
