First, I want to thank netgalley and st martin's press for this book. My review is 100% honest.
This book was written like a stephen king novel except Christopher Golden does not seem to hate women as much as king does. This would be all fine and dandy if I liked king, however, I don't at all. Maybe I'm not a horror girl, or maybe I just think making demons be the issue in the story is a cop out so that you don't have to write anything super thought provoking. I will say that small plot twist was okay. And although the rats were terrifying, it was a cool element. I wish I loved this book, but I just did not. I couldn't wait for it to be over.
