3 Stars= It was an enjoyable read

This has been promoted as a horror book and is supposed to be one. While I never got scared while reading this, I did get creeped out a few times.


For as long as I can remember, instead of screaming when I get scared or creeped out for some reason, I yell “EWW”! (mostly when watching movies) Which I found myself saying a couple of times while reading this story.


The story started off strong and was so good. It kept me very engaged at first but lost steam a little over halfway through. It began to seem a bit far-fetched and rushed. The ending left me feeling unsatisfied. I believe if the book were roughly 200 pages shorter, it would have been perfect.

I also found it very weird that the author named the main character in the story after himself. Was that just me?

What was up with the whole Fay telling the hollow man that enough was enough and him just being like "Oh, okay, sorry, I'll leave lol. Byyyeee?" After all they went through there is no way it was that easy to rid themselves of the evil entity.

All in all, this was a fun read and is worth checking out.
