I LOVE this book. Originally, I thought this was a horror novel, as the title, synopsis, and cover would suggest. It turned out to be so much more. At one point when Jacob discovers the loop, I honestly thought of Narnia and was a bit deflated and disappointed and didn't know if this book was worth it. Luckily for me, I kept reading and became enthralled, mesmerized, and enchanted. It was this beautiful story and I need the second book NOW. You know a book is good when you're half way through reading it and you're so scared that the book is going to break your heart (in the best way possible).
