The Ritual

i really really really enjoyed the first half of this book, the second half dropped down to like a 2.5, last couple scenes brought it back. i loved the blair witch, lost in the woods vibes of the first half, the scene in the house was definitely the creepiest of the whole book and had me absolutely unsettled. i really liked the tense dynamics of the characters, it made it so much more interesting. but the turn it takes at the 50% mark was a bit cliche and overdone for my taste. however, i did really enjoy the very ending so here we are.
