I enjoyed this dark, sad story. It made me feel a lot of emotions, but it made for a good ride. I listened to the audiobook and I love Ireland. Shes a great narrator.

This is my first Kevin Wilson book and I absolutely loved it. I listened to the audiobook. Marin Ireland is just amazing. She is my favorite narrator.
This book was weird in a good way. "Spontaneously" combustible children? I love it.

I enjoyed this book a bit more than i thought I would. I read based off a reccomendation and didn't realize the book was going to be....
supernatural
. Im not sure if that's a spoiler or not. Either way, I enjoyed following along with the story and felt tense often. I will say the last couple sentences had me rolling my eyes.
i just hate books when the two main lovers somehow survive and everythings perfect. Okay so maybe not perfect but...i am glad riley lived as well
overall I would recommend this creepy read. Will check out other books by this author.

I enjoyed this book. It was a little slow at some points but it was good. I enjoyed the ending a lot. A crepy story about a snowstorm that left me feeling creepy

TW: animal death

I wanted to note that first, although it is a very small part of the story, I cried my eyes out. It just reminded me of my own dog loss. 

I enjoyed this book a lot. There were a few continuity errors, but overall was good. I was surprised about a piece of the ending. This story was heartfelt and made me really think about how we look at people, and how differently people can perceive situations.

I did not like
the romance between Alex and Patrick.
it felt so unnecessary and made me roll my eyes, all the way to the end with the little extra bonus added at the end. But, maybe I'm just bitter.
