I don’t normally read this genre of book and prefer science fiction or fantasy, but the description sounded interesting. Net Galley gave me the book for an honest review, so I was determined to read it once I had it.The beginning read like a series of short stories with gruesome endings. I put the book down after each death, but the characters that stayed alive caused me to pick it back up each time.Woven throughout the beginning was a thread that was the story of the main characters. Once the book focused more on this thread and less on the short stories the book became more enjoyable and I found myself not wanting to put the book down because I was intrigued and the characters were well written. Each person had their own distinct personality that made it enjoyable to read about their struggle against the evil they faced.I think the story would be much better with the short stories just edited out. They were unnecessary and almost caused me to put the book down and not pick it back up.An arc of this book was given to me by Net Galley and Random House Publishing Group – Hydra for an honest review.
