This was an example of what a horror filled with thriller aspects should look like. I loved the way the MC used the scarecrow, which gave everything an unreal quality.

3.5 stars, rounded down.

This book contains several genre tropes, which was fine. The thing that caused me to rate it down, though, was twofold:

1. The word crimson was WAY overused. It became repetitive and took me out of the story.

Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Humanity had spread like a virus, replicating itself again and again until there was no room left for anything else. Sacrifices needed to be made for the rest of the planet to survive. “Time’s up,” the trees sneered.”
April A. Taylor, Sinkhole

“Why did I come here?” But she knew why – St. George Island was where she worked,”
April A. Taylor, Evil Eye: A Slasher Story

“Emma laughed darkly. "It's a completely mad idea, I know. But my brain is a hope-making engine."
"I'm so glad," I said. "Mine is a worst-case-scenario generator."
"We need each other, then."
"Yes. But we already knew that, I think.”
Ransom Riggs, Library of Souls
