This book definitely gave me the chills! At first, it was because I just wasn't connecting to it. I mean, it's a massive book! It took a long time for me to get into it and actually finish it. I kept picking it up and putting it back down and, to be honest, I didn't think I would ever finish it. But when I finally did get into it, there was no stopping me! 
 This book was highly dark and atmospheric! And just look at that cover. I have to admit that I'm strangely obsessed with that artwork. Overall, I felt it was a successful horror book...eventually. It took a while for me to get there with this one, but when I did, I really enjoyed it. 
 Thanks to Goodreads and the publisher for this Firstreads book!
