I enjoyed many things about this novel…the setting, the characters, and the plot. It was excellent to listen to and one plot twist/reveal was crazy! Would have loved an epilogue.

Very creepy and crazy!!!! This is a fast read with a couple twists and turns. Definitely some slasher vibes with a hint of cult elements.

I did enjoy the story, it’s well written, and the end was outstanding. However; I found with this one and the second book is the Mistborn series drag at times. Maybe it’s me…I am a rather big mood reader. Overall, would recommend.

A mix of “The Body” (Stand by Me) and Stranger Things, then add a touch of Supernatural. Totally fabulous summer spooky read. I loved it!

A very creepy read! The story and characters were all good. The ending was just a little off for me. Overall, totally worth it!

This book was so very interesting! The characters were great, the setting was perfect, and all the twits and turns in the plot keep you guessing…then throw ghosts in! Awesome! Only holding off on 5 because I felt it ended too abruptly. Would have loved another chapter.

Reminded me very much of ‘The Stand’ by Stephen King. A bit slow at times, but the plot and characters keep you hooked. The end was worth it.

Took a little while to get into and figure out where the plot was going. The middle was solid and had good plot building. The end was great!

Very entertaining! Maggie and her “Martini Club” are super cool and the plot kept me intrigued. Will be checking out the next in the series.
