About this listen

Okiku wants vengeance...and she gets it. Whenever there's a monster hurting a child - the same way she was hurt 300 years ago in Japan - her spirit is there to deliver punishment. But one American boy draws her like no other. The two are pulled into a world of eerie doll rituals and dark Shinto exorcisms that will take them from the American Midwest to the remote valleys and shrines of Aomori, Japan. The boy is not a monster, but something evil writhes beneath his skin, trapped by a series of intricate tattoos. Can Okiku protect him? Or is her presence only bringing more harm?

It was an interesting step back form the monster hunting down people but the ghost as the protagonist was very cool to see!

Another great story by Rin full of depth and darkness that turns light. I rarely read ghost stories but this one I couldn’t pass up because the authors writing is always phenomenal.

Mythology and sacrifice

1 just finished the audiobook now. I'm a fan of J horror which is why made me get the book, I found some similarities real in Japanese stories, like the masked woman which I believe is an idea from the J horror film "Noroi" the mask of Kagutaba. There was another incident in the book where, Okiku killed a few teenage school boys allegedly tied with the Yakuza, for torturing and murdering a school girl. I believe this is based of the true story of Junko Furrata, as on the book is almost exactly how Junko was murdered in real life. I really enjoyed the book and I highly recommend it.

Loved it
