It's been a while since I've read a 5-Star book.

I'm not a huge fan of reading horror, because sometimes the horror element doesn't translate as well for me. But, I do enjoy Japanese horror novels - the classic Ring by Koji Suzuki, for one.

This book offers an interesting spin on the horror tropes of Ju-On: The Grude and The Ring. The book has its fair share of horror elements, that's as much fun to read as it woudo eb to watch a good horror jump scare. The plot is fast paced and layered. The characters are well crafted and you want to invest in their journey.

This book has all the best things from a good horror movie, and gives all its characters the respect they deserve.
