Hex

This definitely has creepy elements but there were things I liked and things I didn't like overall. This town is haunted by a 350+ year old curse in the form of a dead witch (stitched eyes and mouth and bound in chains) who walks the streets and can appear anywhere including inside the homes of the residents there. They have a HEX app to track her and an elaborate set up to make sure this secret never gets out. But evil can take many forms including the hearts and minds of ordinary people living in fear. I felt the book lost some steam in places and included some unnecessary gruesome occurrences that took away from the reading experience instead of adding to it. It's dark, disturbing and grim. I can see where many horror fans like this one but it wasn't really for me.
