All and all not too bad of a read. I might of liked it a bit more but was not a fan of the main character so it was difficult for me to care about her. Actually none of the characters particularly wowed me.
This book hovered somewhere between a creepy horror book and a psychological/murder mystery. It couldâve gone either way but the beginning didnât really match the end. You cant really do both of those things in one story. The book was enjoyable though, a quick read and if did have you guessing throughout. I just wouldâve went about things differently and wouldnât have marketed it as a ghost story.
I enjoyed reading this book - it was my first mystery/thriller! It was a bit slow initially and the set up of the creepy atmosphere was decent but it started feeling very predictable. My initial thoughts about the plot were correct :)
Such a good thriller! A book that makes you wanting to keep reading to find out more! I could read this book over and over.
