The prose is imagery infused, alongside entertaining dialogue that manages to feel unique ... A modern-meets-classic horror story that keeps the stakes high until the very last sentence.
Pitch-black ... Clever ... Isn’t some gothic grave-robbing horror; it’s a modern thriller ... The plotting is precise and the tension is wire-tight—I couldn’t put the book down.
