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.
Writing was average and repetitive, characters weren’t interesting enough to keep me hooked… I was really looking for the fear factor but it didn’t come quickly enough, just very predictable alludings. Been done before many times, this entire plot.
I found that during the riding it's very amazing,enjoyable sweet splendid, heartthouching and wrapped up ending .
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 :)
