I couldn’t wait to read this book, I picked it for the challenge Can you read a series in a Month? I was eager to step into this world and be totally creeped out. I have to say the pictures in the book add a lot to the creepiness and I loved how this keeps you guessing.

At first I wasn’t sure about the characters. I enjoyed reading in Dan’s POV and I actually enjoyed Abby, however Jordan got on my nerves a bit more than I would have liked. I really believed as much as all three characters were suppose to be friends they spend a lot more time fighting because they just liked to keep things to themselves and had serious trust issues. I did like the character development but as some points I felt the story was a little disconnected. It didn’t flow like I had hoped it would and it got sort of choppy that by the end I was sort of confused how it all happened. I am not saying I didn’t like the book because I really, really did. Since this is the series I picked I am eager to find out what happens to the characters and the end gave me chills. I also plan to read the novellas at some point maybe it will fill in the parts I that were choppy.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book, Jordan got better in the end and the friends seemed more connected just took a bit of time to get there. I totally recommend if you are looking for something creepy to make you sleep with the lights on. Can’t wait to read the next one.
