The Haunting of Beatrix Greene: Vol. 1 by Rachel Hawkins
3.0
I have my serious doubts after I picked it. I wanted a Halloween reading but I wasn’t prepare to find out it was an edit of a serial novel published online.
I have mixed feelings because, for instance, every serial ends with a big cliffhanger to kept you going. (Which is good)
It was like reading some old penny dreadful of gothic terror. The first part was narrated by Rachel Hawkins (Which is why I picked it) I loved her trilogy, Hex hall at the end and wanted to see how se was writing for older audiences.
The first serial is very introductive but is so freaking good! It has these vibes from The show Penny Dreadful and the movie The Crimson Peak that it was a really satisfactory reading for Halloween.
The victorian medium, in a creepy house full of ghost really pay out but it was not so out of the ordinary. I guess I can feel the differences between the episodes written by every author. Thou they try to keep it very well edited, is like a show when sometimes, the first few chapters are good and then in the middle it drag some parts…like a dead weight (pun intended).
For me is three stars. (I would say 3.5 Victorian gothic stars but goodreads is all or nothing.)
Love the red dress cover better than the one with the frame on it.
