I'm sorry, but this was barely a book. Graveyard Shift needed about 300 more pages of character establishment and plot. It was so short, you don't know who anybody is, or care. Some people have a knack from short fiction. They can bring you into a story immediately, without need for elaboration, M.L. Rio doesn't have that skill, unfortunately, which is fine, but this should have just been a novel instead. It wasn't scary, and the interesting parts felt very rushed. I'm over it, expect it to be on my vinted at the end of the month 🤣
