** spoiler alert ** 4 stars

I went into this book knowing that it was nothing more than a short story. So I wasn't expecting it to be something grand like Boneshaker was. That being said I still enjoyed it. It felt like I was reading a creepy pasta. I was also listening to the soundtrack for Bioshock while I read it so it made the story seem extra creepy.

The reason why I didn't give it 5 stars was because parts of it were confusing for the entire clockwork century universe.

Like is the woman in the hospital actually a witch?
Can she truly see spirits and demons around her?
How did she know that the boys robot was going to end up possessed?
Can she see into the future too?
Are there other people out there like her?

I know that there are zombies in this universe, but I didn't know that there were witches and spirits in it too. Priest never mentioned that type of stuff in Boneshaker or Clementine. Well, the woman from this book was also in Clementine, but only briefly. And they played her off as just being insane.

I think it would be cool if they had witches and magic in this series. I'm sure Priest would be able to incorporate it well.
