My main critique of this book is I felt like it was too long. I oops, sorry, wrong. Dragged on for a long, long time, guys. And I don't think it was needed. I did like Stephen King's writing. His writing is very immersive.

I did think it was still really creepy. This author has a way of writing that is so haunting and just hooks you and you're in it, cannot get out. But I just wasn't as attached to our characters and I wasn't rooting for them as hard as I was in the first few.

But this book like truly was so well written. I was obsessed with the writing. It flowed in a way that was so easy to read, but also made you have the biggest insight into your characters.

I was obsessed with it until I literally could not deal with these characters anymore. So that one was kind of interesting to me. I think overall though I'd still give it a four star just because I loved the concept of this so much.

I will say though, the atmosphere of this was incredible. It was such a haunting gothic kind of atmosphere with the idea of like ghosts and festing people and demons and everything like that. Loved that. Just was like a little bit separated because of the tenses.
