This is definitely the most tense book I've ever read. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time promising myself I'll get up after finishing this chapter. Never has a book ever made me so excited yet nervous for what's to come next.
All the time I'd been reading it, I experienced the ominous presence lurking in the dark just like the narrator. I shared her fear, her panic and her suspicions. I felt like I was in the Area X and could not wait to get all the answers and get out.
The author did a brilliant job in shaking my nerves. He gave me one of my best and most haunting reads ever. An unsettling experience.
