Fantasy horror is quite a new
genre for me and this book surely is a good introduction to this genre. All the
characters develops quite well as the plot progresses with different twists and
turns which won’t let you keep this book down. Unfortunately despite different unique
plot points, it fell flat for me in certain chapters. The cover fits perfectly
with the story, the language is easy too but I believe the title could’ve been
a little bit better. Pick this up to get lost into a world of mystery &
horror.
