Sometimes it felt like it's messaging was too heavy-handed, as if lacking faith in the reader, but I suppose it's understandable considering the subject matters (and the author afterword).
Overall, really don't regret picking up this book and I can't wait to recommend it to fellow horror fans.

Mary loses her job and gets a call from her Aunt (nasty woman) that she hates. She goes to live with her for a bit and sort of find herself. What she finds is she can see dead woman all over town and finds more and more of her memories that she's forgotten.
Eye roll. This was slow moving, and even through the horror elements I became bored. This went a totally different direction than I imagined and not in a good way. As soon as the cult showed up I was ready to DNF. I was just too far in to not know what happened.
As far as horror books go, you can skip this one. You aren't missing much.
