Love the different layout of the book makes it quick to read and also drags you in to the world. As a horror snob it was brilliant that there is finally a YA horror the finish as I horror should finish so satisfying. The main character (Carly/Kaitlyn) are well developed and the book makes sure you are highly invested in these characters as well as the small group of secondary character though not as well define gives more mystery around the story. Wish there was a screen adaptation of this one.
