Funny and quirky horror / thrillers always call my name and this one started off well. It definitely lost some steam halfway, despite it being short.
The writing was a little confusing. This was young adult but I think it would have been better marketed as adult and leaned into whatever points it was making even more. There was a decent amount of cursing, and naturally some creature gore, which aged it up from a younger YA, but I think I would have enjoyed the vibe more as straight up adult.
I wanted a little more character development as well. I liked what was there but they weren’t really driving me to keep reading. I finished the book because it was short but it was just not super memorable for me.
