Customer Reviews

Such an amazing book!!

This book will keep you on your toes and reading just to find out what happens. The twists and turns you are taken through just leads to an ending well worth it! I absolutely recommend this book!!

Had me reeling

This book is a slow burner, but once it gets going it DOES NOT STOP. The last half of the book I had to speed read and then read again to make sure I got it right. Lots of twists. More fantastical than most horror books, but sooo good.

Thanks. I hate it.

Nope. The first 3/4 is pretty alright. The last 1/3?? Trash garbage.

Slow moving, very wordy.

This book reminds me of watching crime TV. A lot of information is reiterated from chapter to chapter and it seems like you'll never get to the end. The first 1/3 of this book was entertaining, but rest was confusing and boring. I don't really understand the biblical references that seem to come out of nowhere. The part I enjoyed the most was when I finally finished it so I could move on with my life.

Best horror novel I've ever read

This is 700pgs of twists and turns you will not see coming. It is a fantastic read with really gripping characters and motivations. Who knew the person who wrote Perks of being a Wallflower would be so good at horror???

One of my favorite books!

A lot of people say it “carried on” and was “too long” but I feel like it was just right (even though the ending resolution was kinda outta nowhere) But even so that ending doesn’t take from how much I love it! I always recommend it to everyone that asks for a book recommendation :)

Just ok.

It was good at first then got really weird. Dont really understand the ending

The darkest Christmas tale

This book kept me guessing and speculating from the very beginning. I haven't cried that hard from a book since Harry Potter book 7. What a pleasure! Thank you Stephen Chbosky
