I read each episode as it was published, and was thrilled when they were all compiled together and I could re-read them in chunks. It only got better the second time through, too. Purrazzi’s writing really shines with character development, and Kyle was one heck of a main character. He was immature at parts, yes, but you can also sense the emotional distress he is experiencing as he searches for his missing brother. He’s willing to go to any lengths to figure out what happened, and I would imagine that if I was in his position, I would start losing my mind, too.
The stories are downright scary, but not in an overdone type of way, which is my main complaint when I read this genre. No, it was well-balanced, and I found myself sucked into the story without being scared out of it. Their are heart-pounding moments, then moments that give you time to breathe, and moments that let you into the family dynamics. And that is really what this is about: family. I highly recommend this series to anyone who is a fan of psychological thrillers, scary ghost stories, and well-written characters.
