Holly

Scene: Descriptive in a borderline gross and uncomfortable way, exactly what I expected from King. ****
Characters: Strong main characters that do not disappoint. ****
Story: My first King book, was not disappointed. You learn who the bad guys are pretty early, I wasn't sure where it would go, but I enjoyed finding out. ****
Recommend?: Yes, great starter King.

Your enjoyment of this book may vary based on your views toward COVID, the vaccine, Trump, etc., as well as your interest in Holly's character. Personally, I've really enjoyed Holly's other appearances and was excited to read her own full story ("If It Bleeds" aside). While this book definitely has some elements of horror present, it is more a thriller book through and through because we the audience knows who the killers are from chapter one, and it honestly felt a little bit different for a King book. Overall, this was a really enjoyable and creepy read.
