"This book was gruesome and haunting. Yet I couldn’t put it down… wouldn’t expect anything less from the King. "

"It's between a 3.5/4 ⭐ rating for me. <br/><br/>Although I enjoyed the character development between the father and son. Some of the back and forth conversations were just a bit boring for me. I liked the creepy, disturbing nature of the rats being a villain of the victim and the idea of the wife having her army revenging on her husband for her. <br/><br/>However, I was hoping to get more creepy, paranormal type scenes of the wife maybe coming out of the well. I think there were only two or three creepy animated scenes with her. And the other scenes were creepy descriptions of her. But I wanted it to be almost on the same level as the movie The Ring. Even though I hate that movie for frightening me to my wits to where I never want to see or think about that movie again...BUT I did want that level of horror from this book since their disposable way was to use the well to hide the body. Wells are scary!<br/><br/>Also I teared up anytime an animal got injured or killed. A little less sympathy towards the rats but still a teeny bit sad for animal violence. But that's just me and my sensitive heart. Also the unborn child that had no chance at life also made me sad. The man at the cafe had no reason to shoot the couple. Henry was polite and all he had to do was phone the police when they were at a safe distance. But that wouldn't bring the book any drama if we were living in my happy land of a mind. So I totally get why it had to end so tragically. Just leave the children and animals unharmed"

"Absolutely! I mean, if you love Horror. There is even a Netflix movie about it and it was amazing. I do highly recommend it and if you are interested then that's even better, there is also The Shinning if you haven't heard about it. "
