Sad I didn't enjoy this more since I really loved Dead Silence. It was fine but it's not a story that I feel is particularly memorable. It's very slow for a horror/thriller novel and I didn't feel any sense of dread or suspense until halfway through.

I found the protagonist to be frustrating and the other characters felt one-dimensional so my emotional involvement in the story was minimal - if this were a multiple POV story it might be more compelling. There was enough in the plot to keep me interested in reading until the end but ultimately I did not care all that much about the fate of any of these characters.
