The premise of this book had my anxiety skyrocketing — even before any of the more supernatural elements kicked in. Visitors who you just can’t seem to get out of your house? Horror. There were some truly chilling moments in the early parts of the book.

I had hoped that the many compelling elements early on would conclude in a satisfying way, but many of the threads felt abandoned halfway through, and ultimately this felt a little anticlimactic and not fully realized.

I still think it is a commendable debut novel, and look forward to future work by this author.
