Excuse me while I proceed to pick my jaw up off the floor. This book was AMAZING. From the first paragraph, I felt a general sense of unease and trepidation that only increased the more I read. And I felt all the emotions from fear, anxiety, grief, confusion, and absolute shock.

Additionally, the atmosphere Kliwer created was full of dread and unease and provided immaculate spooky season vibes. The mixed media elements also added to the sense of foreboding that something just wasn't right.

Also, the pacing was superb there wasn't a single moment that felt stagnant or dull. It was full throttle from start to finish. And that ending! What a mindfuck and so trippy!! I know it leaves a ton of unanswered questions but I felt it was perfection considering how events played out.

This book met and exceeded my expectations. What a helluva first book well done Kliewer looking forward to the next one!
