I thought this story was unique and had some legitimately spooky scenes in it. The book is set near where I live and was pretty on the nose as far as description goes.Â
The few scary scenes were intense and had me on the edge of my seat wanting to know what was going to happen.Â
The two main problems I had with this book were: the two main characters had nearly indistinguishable voices and it was just TOO DANG LONG! Honestly, so much of this book could have been cut out. It completely ruined the suspense they were trying to set up by talking about the hiking and planting and fencing and horseback riding the characters were doing. A suspenseful theme would be introduced, but then it would be a chapter or two before anything came of it. It really threw the pacing off.Â
Do I think there will be people out there who will love this book? Absolutely. I’m just not necessarily one of them.Â
I received this eARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.Â
