This book was a very anticipated read for me and it did have a promising beginning that pulled me in immediately. The setting, both in the present and the past was very intriguing and just the right amount of spooky (maybe that’s also partly due to my phobia of wasps/yellow jackets). However, the middle part really dragged for me. I don’t know where exactly it could’ve been shortened as it didn’t feel like there were any unnecessary scenes, but the plot drastically slowed in pace and in creepiness and that made it difficult for me to keep my interest in what was happening. The ending picked up again, though, and I read the last 200 pages almost in one go. However, it also left me feeling a little unsatisfied. I feel like it poses more questions than it answers. I’m okay with now knowing certain things, like how much was real and how much was really just delusions induced by dr*gs, mental instability etc., but this was different. It felt like there were too many dots not connected, or rather forcibly connected even though they didn’t completely fit together. However, I did overall have a really good time with the book and its characters!
