This was highly recommended on spooky booktok but I really didn’t find much in the way of horror. And I didn’t love the style of short sentences. 
Every other sentence. 
For dramatic effect. 
It was oddly fanfic-y, something like Twilight with the beautiful-but-doesn’t-know-it self insert narrator. Potentially I’m just too ancient to appreciate this style of writing.
