If I was going to sum this book up in one word, that would be underwhelmed. I was really excited for this one. Creepy cults, killer corn (because why not), ancient rituals, and tons of mysterious deaths? SURE. Sign me up. However, the end product was not nearly as creepy or exciting as the premise led me to believe. 
 The beginning starts off really well. Ashlyn has been haunted by the ghost of a dead girl her entire life. Our first introduction to the story is a vision of that girl hanging in the middle of the room, blood dripping onto the table. Introduce some blackout visions, killer crows, and her mother's disappearance, and I was so ready to get into this story. 
 It took a turn for the worse soon after that. As soon as we met Dane, I knew I was going to have problems with this story. It's insta-love from the moment they make eye contact. Ashlyn describes his physical perfection in great detail, and she never really stops after that. It's noted over and over and over throughout the whole plot. I'm sick of reading about gorgeous, irresistible male leads. It boring, easy, and unrealistic. I like my love interests like I like my MCs: believably flawed. Unfortunately, Dane is the picture of perfection until the end. 
 The horror factor loses steam by this point. The middle 150 pages or so are dull and slow, and this is when I started losing hope for a high rating. This is also when she dives headfirst in Dane and her feelings for him and pushes everything else (including where her mother is? Shouldn't that have been a priority?) to the side. I can sum up that middle chunk into something like this (no major spoilers): 
 Dane and I made eye contact. I feel such a PULL towards him. I'm not sure what color his eyes are but I WANT TO KNOW. 
 VISION. WHAT DOES IT MEAN? 
 Dane took his shirt off. I thinking I'm having a heart attack. 
 VISION. DIRT ON MY FEET. WHERE DID I GO?! WHAT DID I DO?! 
 *small revelation* 
 DANE AND I ARE MEANT TO BE. OUR LOVE IS PURE. I'M ALL INTO THIS BUSINESS. 
 THE COOORRRRNNNNN. 
 That's about it. I was so annoyed with the insta-love that it killed the horror factor of the narrative, which was barely there through the middle of the story anyway. The last 50 pages were better; the focus shifted to where it should have been, and there were some promising revelations. However, it wasn't enough to make up for all the detours beforehand. 
 Also, I think the best part of the story was Beth. I wanted more from her. The ending seems to imply she will be a bigger presence in the next book which I would love (if I actually decide to read it).
