I very nearly DNF this. I listened as an audiobook. If I had been reading I definitely would have done. 
It should have a been good. The idea behind it is interesting. The execution just fell way short for me. Not a lot really happens, meaning the middle of the book drags and drags. 

How this is marketed as a horror I will never know.
