This novella falls into the horror realm and was a refreshing change from the previous books. I tried *really hard* to pay attention and get the secret sauce in this story, but I can honestly say I only know what was happening for the first 75% of the story. It felt like we got some reveals that went over my head. I definitely want to reread this one physically. It was a little eerie earlier on in the story but the horror definitely comes out to play in the later half of the book.
