On the plus side, it was easy to finish and had marks of good storytelling. There were some genuinely creepy parts and it was fun to read. However, it had a cliche or two and I found some of it either predictable (the father part) or unlikely (the baby sacrificing/supernatural wolf theme). Also, the serial killer, Michael, was almost a parody with his dark fairy tales and his brooding ways. I felt like I was reading a hodgepodge of true crime which was okay. This story perhaps belongs by a campfire rather than in a novel.
