This book is probably one of my favorite read of the end of 2024. it’s gruesome, gore, full of wit and the main character is so unhinge but easy to root for that I was hooked from the very first few sentences. The friendship between the two main characters is excellent. I mean, hell literally get loose on them from day one and they still ask for it. No way they leave the other one behind and try to understand what’s happening. The atmosphere is pretty good. I’d say, It’s scary but not that scary technically. But definitely gore. It’s just the way Kel wrote it and the way the thick atmosphere and horror parts blend perfectly with the character development. This book, for me, was like looking a 80’s horror movie when you don’t know if you want to laugh or be scared and you ended in a weird state in between, during the whole movie. That’s how I like horror, and that’s how I binged read this book in one go, in a few hours. I can’t wait for the tome #2.
