This book was a big improvement from Dark Waters. It was MUCH scarier - there were some parts that truly made me feel spooked. But then it just ended. I felt like the end was so rushed again - and again it was because I didn’t realize that the last 50 pages in the book were excerpts from the first 3. I wish we had gotten a bit more explanation of who the Smiling Man really is. I stand by my comment in my review for Dark Waters, I think the author backed herself into a corner by deciding to write four books when she really only had material for two.

That being said, I will miss this series.
