Speaking of downpours, it decided to rain the entire 3 days it took me to read the book. That added an ambiance I didn't quite need, as this book is unsettling enough as it is. Downpour takes the normal, the everyday, and turns it frightening. The whole book is fraught with tension and dread. The writing is just delicious. I was invested in the book well before the storm even started. It also punched me in the feelings and left me wrecked. Strong 5 stars for this slow burn.
