Dec 19, 2020 Amanda rated it really liked it

Seems like an apt book to read in 2020. It’s spooky and slow. I may have preferred the Netflix series which I watched after finishing this book. The book makes the reader slowly experience the characters fears to the point I wasn’t sure where my building panic attack ended and theirs began. The netflix series had the unforgettable horrifying arc of The Bent Neck Lady. Truly terrifying and tragically sad at the same time.

Tried to like this book. Got halfway through and it still reads like a tweens diary.

Not the slightest suspense or horror. Not wasting anymore time on this one. And the Netflix series was so dang good! Think this may be the first time I liked the show better than the book…..
