The Carrow Haunt by Darcy Coates
3.0
Lets talk Darcy Coates. I've recently picked up two books by her The Haunting of Ashburn house and The carrow haunting and I have come to the conclusion she is not for me.
Both of these books are gimmicky cheesy horrors which I just don't find scary. I wouldn't of minded much if she had given me good fleshed out characters. But they are basic cardboard cutouts. The characters in the carrow haunting were abit better put nothing to make it an enjoyable read.
Either one of these books did anything new, if you're reading or watched any horror these are gonna be highly predictable. Again I don't mind predictable as long as I'm getting depth but these are about as deep as puddle.
Then it comes to the thing I dislike the most which is a spoiler. No one dies, you might think they died but they didn't. This bothered me the most in carrow because almost everyone did in fact die. One had a heart attack, one was thrown off a cliff and drowned another was hung but then the ending happened and it turned out the ghost healed there bodies and had them in a magical coma. Honestly that just pissed me off.
Safe to say Darcy coates is not for me.
