What did I just read??! I’m all hear no, see no, speak no but here goes…

This is the book of all your nightmares!! Sickening to my soul! I’ll have nightmares about these monsters!

An utterly terrifying story that gave me chills, and had me sick to my stomach. I’ll admit that I skimmed through the POV who’s flashback narrative story flips back to 1933 then comes to life in a Sci-Fi fantasy sort of way..

The other POV is in 1991 is a suspense mystery, told by Evie Day when she returns after five years Evie Day is back in her hometown, in Woodsville, Arkansas to attend her grandfather’s funeral. Evie discovers an old photo in his belongings along with a key and a vial of blood, from a case he was working as a local cop many years ago. Now, Evie is pulled into the middle of the mystery that her grandfather left for her.

I’m super sensitive to child and animal abuse, so this was so insane for me to handle. This was listed as a Fiction Thriller and oh no it was not! I love horror flicks but I could NEVER watch this if it became one. To me this was more part graphic horror and great suspenseful mystery..

Trigger warnings: sadistic pedophiles, child rape/extreme abuse/child trafficking's, satanic rituals, bloody sacrifices, an absolute horror.

Ms. Vancise, what a crazy journey a bit much but bravo because i liked it , I think. I give it 3.5 stars
