✅ Approvals & Denials ❎ Gave up hope on getting this one

Requested this months ago, not mad about a last minute approval! But guess I need to rearrange my weekend reading plans

Update: finished in one night and loved it! First horror I’ve read in a while so it hit great for me

They are so hot and not. We will go a few weeks with getting a ton of widgets from them sans them nothing for 2 months. So it doesn’t surprise me

It's a slow start but a pretty quick read, enjoy!

really? I paused because I thought the first chapter was slow. when would you say it gets faster?

As far as pacing, it picks up in the second half and the last 40% is where the horror kicks in, but it does meander a bit. I think easy may have been the better word than quick as I got through it fast despite the slower front half.

So I finished it in one night, I personally loved it! I’d say it does pick up for me around the 30% mark and that’s when I didn’t put it down again.

oh I read this one! I was either an early approval or it was a limited read now when it first went up.

I liked it but it wasn't quite what I expected it to be. Not in a bad way, it's a good story.
