moonchildpages's review against another edition
3.0
3.5/5
i will admit that when i first started reading it i felt like the writing was a bit stiff and not for me, but as i read on i got used to it. so don’t let that bother you.
i’ve always enjoyed sibling dynamics, especially when one is orderly and the other is a loose canon. heh. though carrie probably is too much if a loose canon lol. one thing i will say: the cover and gripping synopsis may be misleading to hardcore horror/thriller fanatics as to the intensity of the novel but it didn’t bother me as i’m not picky with my thrillers and actually prefer them on the lighter side. it does have some intensity to it but is more of a mystery/detective story than a horror/thriller. also i didn’t care for the perspective switching (first person and third person), though that is more of a personal peeve.
overall, it was an enjoyable and interesting mystery that keeps you slightly unsettled but also slightly amused.
