Genres: Horror, Supernatural
Format: ARC, eBook
I enjoy horror books and had high hopes for this one. Unfortunately, it was not for me.
Dawn, who gets messages from her deceased mother, has returned to her hometown. Soon her brother, Cody, who has been in prison for committing a violent crime, has been released and is back in town with Tyler, a friend from prison.
The book, at 272 pages, is slow and relies on flashbacks to tell part of the story. There is a supernatural element that also comes into play.
I felt that most of this book went over my head and found myself re-reading sections. I was unable to connect with any of the characters or the story. When the supernatural element came into play, the book had already lost me. This was unique and atmospheric; I will give it that.
Many enjoyed this book, but it was not for me. Again, I enjoy horror books but apparently not this type of horror book. As the description says, it is dark. It is also slow and another book that felt much longer than the 272 pages.
Thank you to the publisher and Edelweiss who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
