What a good, creepy horror mystery! It all takes place in a short time frame, deep character development on everyone inside of the gas station, there is a monster outside going after those with guilty hearts and mimicing those they have devoured. Everyone has a secret– you aren’t going to guess most of them– and this is a big time PAGE TURNER. It feels like an old Twilight Zone episode in that this is not just a monster novel, there is also an underlying theme and great characters, even though they are one dimensional at times they are amazing cariactures. Jump scares! Gore! It felt like a horror movie. Loved the setting, the pacing, and the overall creepiness. Horror fans, don’t miss this one!
