The Watchers: a spine-chilling Gothic horror novel

I really enjoyed this book, it has great twists and turns throughout the book but I did have an idea about the ending around half way in. There could have been less build up and more detail put into the end of the book which would have caused more mystery.
Enjoyed the book & looking forward to watching the film when it comes out later this year to see how it’s portrayed as have a feeling this could be a better film than book which is rare for me!

I floored!!! To put the book down like this was impossible and super fitting for an October spooky read! If you read A.M Shine’s series you can’t blink (zone out) while reading these or you will lose yourself and interest. Pay close attention 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 the details are too gothic to miss out on! I can not wait to see the film and continue to dive into Mina’s world 🤯 How in the world does one see what she can not unsee and carry a secret- risking her life- taking a promise to the grave???!!!! I AM SHOOK

“The Watchers” is an extremely fast paced and exhilarating creature feature that I honestly had a lot of fun reading. In the moment that I thought the novel was slowing down, it was brought back up to a 10, tension practically oozing out of every sentence. While I thought the ending was a bit predictable, the rest of the novel was anything but, making for a read that was honestly really fun.

This book reminded me a lot of A Quiet Place, Bird Box, and From all wrapped up into one. I thought the premise was interesting, but poorly executed. Honesty, it probably would have worked better as a novella. The story seemed to drag, and I stopped caring about the characters after a while. The author, though, did a fantastic job at creating a creepy, claustrophobic ambience throughout. Overall, it was an okay book. I just wasn't completely blown away by it.

Had great build up, but the twist is so obvious. No real moments of terror or dread, but all together bot bad.
