That was the most dog shit nothing book I’ve ever read. Did we all read the same book?

Michelle Wrobel That's what I'm wondering. And what was that ending? I dont understand it at all. This book made zero sense.


hellcamino This is the review I wanted to leave.


Nikki Same. Was so confused by the ending, made no sense to me


message 4: by Amanda (new) - added it

Amanda A Thank you! I’m super confused by all these folks saying it was the scariest book they’d read. Huh? Did I accidentally miss a chapter? I was bored and wanted to slap the mom. Thanks for saying what was in MY heart!


ripley ✨ You’re all my people for real 😂😂


Olivia Mol you inspired me to lower my rating lol


Laura Goudy It was absolutely awful


Marie I should have stopped reading it after chapter one. This book was such a waste of my time but I pushed through. Not scary at all which makes me question the people saying it was the scariest thing they had ever read. huh?


Kimberly Kelly It was actually awful and I'm mad lmao


Kimberly Kelly Also did anyone else notice that the dad says "it's 2024" at one point and then the end randomly says "Michigan 2023". Random nit pick but this book made me mad so


ripley ✨ I did not Kimberly!!! That’s silly


Olivia Thank you!! I just finished and I feel wlike I'm literally being pranked by these reviews. Absolutely nothing happened in this book! This might be my least favorite book ever. Oh my god. The people who were terrified by this must be scared of cotton balls because literally what scared you?? Lol


ripley ✨ Olivia, NO FOR REAL like I solely read this based off other authors I love blurbing it and now I’m like� some of y’all have written my fave horror novels what did y’all see in THIS!?


Danielle I'm new to the horror genre, and this almost made me never want to read one again. So lame.


ripley ✨ Danielle I’m a frequent horror reader I’m so sorry this was one of your intro books!!! It’s such a big genre I hope you read better horrors soon!! 🫶🏻


Kate P This book is the reason I will always read samples before buying books from now on. Truly a waste of money

Madi Kraemer lmao literally


Christy Reed THANK YOU, lol. I’m so mad I wasted my time with this book. How anyone finds this book terrifying (or good) is beyond me.


message 22: by Angel (new) - rated it 1 star

Angel Now I remember why I always listen to the sample of the audio when I’m deciding whether to listen or read. Ugh. The narrators child voice has been on my nerves since the first word. Also, who the hell sits with their “sleeping� child and just spills their guts to them?? This is repetitive, boring, and just bad.
