This started a bit slowly but once it picked up I read about half of it in a sitting

It took a bit to get to the actual “horror” aspect of it, but I feel like it was a pretty good payoff when we finally got it. I’ll be honest since I thought for a bit there that it was going to be “the horror was the trauma we experience along the way” and then actual horror stuff happened

For a book that I picked up because the cover interested me, I’m glad I read it
