⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Carpenter delivers a dense, atmospheric tale that may alienate readers seeking fast-paced action or clear-cut resolutions. The narrative relies heavily on psychological ambiguity, which might frustrate those who prefer definitive answers regarding the killer's identity. It is not suited for fans of lighthearted paranormal romance or straightforward slasher films. However, for enthusiasts of slow-burn urban gothic horror, it provides a rich, unsettling tapestry of dread. The strength lies in its moody prose and the lingering question of sanity versus possession.
