This book is fine and has moments where it sells its claustrophobic setting very well. Unfortunately there was a lot I didn't enjoy. The main character is written as this edgy person we're supposed to like and root for but I found them thoroughly unlikeable and annoying. The story also happens to be quite boring, we plod along without anything particularly happening despite the fact we spend almost the entirety of the book in these supposedly haunted caves that are also an ex-amusement attraction. This setting should lend itself to all sorts of possibilities. An example of how tame this is, is even the deaths we get in here all happen "off screen" as it were. Also towards the climax of the book we get some reveals and this is where it dropped off completely for me, two of them were far too obvious and very anticlimactic and the other was utterly ridiculous.
