Tyffany D. Neiheiser Why Tyffany loves this book

This book is strange and beautiful. It was a surprising book that unfolded like poetry. I didn't always understand what was happening, but I couldn't put it down either. I had no idea what to expect during the entire book, and even though it's not a mystery, it kept me on edge because of it. In many ways, it was like a beautiful dream during a refreshing sleep.

I highly recommend this book to people who like strange and dreamlike stories.

Tyffany D. Neiheiser Why Tyffany loves this book

This is a YA horror novel about a monster that the whole town knows about. There are signs when it's coming, and rules to follow. I loved the friendship between the central characters, and how they welcome the new girl and try to teach her about the monster. I love the idea of a monster that the whole town knows about-- but can't do anything about.

This book is fun and frightening. Great for fans of YA horror.
