I really enjoy books that keep me intrigued. Like I seriously had no idea where this book was going. I loved the way it was written, I seriously couldn’t get enough of it!
The only reason it gets 4 stars and not 5 is because I still feel like some parts of the story didn’t match up or some parts I was just confused about by the end. I loved the ending and thought it was great, but thinking back on some parts, they just aren’t really explained.
But other than that I thought it was great. It kept me guessing and interested the whole way through and I think would definitely be better after I read it a second time. ...more

I got really invested into the story and all the twists and turns.
I loved the Peter Pan aspects of it. All the little things like NevAirLand and the drug being called “pixie dust”, Tina Belle and all of those parts of the story I just really enjoyed and made it super fun.
My only real issues with this books is characters (especially Wendy) would have this big character arc/change and then on the next page completely ignore it or go back on their new found revelation, I guess. It just made the story kinda irritating or hard to read at times with them constantly changing their views and then going back on it a page later.
I also didn’t like Jon being both James’ and Wendy’s half brother, that’s just a little too close to comfort for me. I know they aren’t blood related but the fact they both share a brother made me super uncomfortable, although I was floored by that twist (which is why it still gets a high rating). Like the fact that their kids share one uncle is super weird to me.
Overall this book was a bunch of fun, just a little too weird at the end. ...more

I do like the ending to the main series with Dan finally meeting his mum and all that. I just ended up with a few questions by the end.
Like how the Scarlets plot line from the second book just doesn’t go anywhere. They’re mentioned and we get a back story but that’s pretty much it.
And seriously, what are the chances that the company Dan’s mum was investigating for unapproved drugs was also selling to Brookline, the asylum that Dan’s great uncle happened to perform human experiments at? I just think that’s a weird link that didn’t really sell it for me.
I did notice that the writing got more mature with each book, this one having much more “adult” themes than the first one. Either way, I really enjoyed this series as a whole. I liked this book but I also would’ve been fine without it. ...more

At first I was a bit disappointed since I found it had been a bit of a slow start, but after halfway I really became invested as some parts of the story unraveled.
Some of the imagery near the end of the book were super interesting and creepy. I was afraid this book wasn’t going to live up to the hype but it definitely made up for it in the end. ...more

I thoroughly enjoyed this read. I thought the pacing was great and the story a lot more stressful than I thought it was going to be.
I definitely went into this thinking it was just going to be a pretty typical horror/exorcism story but it has a big emphasis on friendship and growing up and how life just gets in the way sometimes.
I haven’t been this invested in a book for a long time and I was super happy with this book! ...more

This book isn’t as consistent, I thought, with its viscera but it certainly makes up for when those scenes do happen. As much as I love splatter-punk books, this one had a scene I didn’t think was necessary but you kinda sign up for that when you read books like this. ...more
So I actually finished this last night but there were two short stories at the end and it was getting late but this is the review I wrote right after So I actually finished this last night but there were two short stories at the end and it was getting late but this is the review I wrote right after I finished it :
That was probably one of the most upsetting, uncomfortable, brutal and depressing books I’ve ever read. I don’t know what I was expecting when I started this book but it definitely wasn’t that.
I felt so gross and icky the entire time and I have never felt so bad for a character before, and Ruth is an underrated villain cause she’s truely awful ( and that’s an understatement).
And books usually never make me cry but this one got me. Maybe it’s the way Jack Ketchum writes his books that makes them so easy for me to picture but it’s truly great writing.
It’s very effective and he doesn’t really beat around the bush too much. He just kinda says stuff as it is and it works. ...more
