Amazing!

I found this title on TikTok, and I was not disappointed! I love that it's reminiscent of the movie The VVitch but leans harder on the fantasy side than it does horror. That's not to say that it's not gruesome! It's a perfect mix and I highly recommend!

The story was okay, worth a credit. I will continue to read the series. However, the audio quality is terrible. The Narrator isn't TOO bad its mostly the sound quality that makes it difficult to listen to.

I loved this book. the narration was perfect. I'm a frequent reader of horror and the climax still had me on the edge of my seat. it was a little slow sometimes but I think that just added to the buildup of anxiety and dread. definitely worth the read!

I regretfully slept on this book for far too long. I decided to finally read it after first reading Project Hail Mary and I liked it so much I fell down a Andy Weir rabbit hole. Anyways, I thought having a lone character stranded on another planet would make for a boring read, but I was wrong. This book is fun and exciting. Sometimes the main character can be pretty annoying but I gave him some grace considering he was probably going crazy.

I've had to move out of the city and into the house I inherited here, in the idyllic fishing village of Porthcove, but only for as long as it takes to sell it. You see, I need the money, so I've started seeing some of the locals, you know, as patients, but I tell you, there's something really disturbing about charming neighbors sharing chilling secrets. And it isn't just that. It's the other things. Strange, inexplicable things. It started with odd smells, creepy sounds, and then the intruders...oh God, the intruders.

Reviewed: 09-17-21
A lot of the bad reviews say that the story doesn't make sense, but this book is written from the perspective of an unlikeable person going through... wait for it... PSYCHOSIS. So yeah, surprise, it can be convoluted and sometimes doesn't make sense. Honestly though, I thought it was a really good book. Initially I found it really hard to connect and empathize with the main character. The oversexualization of women was a HUGE turn off and I almost put the book down. However, I stuck through and the author does a really good job of unfolding a story that explains the psychosis without justifying the unlikable characteristics of the antihero. Also, you do see some redeemable qualities as the story goes on that makes it a little more bearable. This book utilized a lot of tropes you see in psychological thrillers but was still able to surprise me.
Not a huge fan of the Narrator...
