The Haunting of Maddy Clare by Simone St. James
4.0
what a great way to kick off the new year! this book was the perfect mix of creepy, mysterious, and romantic. i really enjoyed watching our protagonist sarah come into herself, and i liked how the scary parts of the novel were broken up with scenes of the budding romance between her and matthew. it balanced the story out very well.
my only complaint is that the climax of the book was kind of underwhelming. after all that buildup, i would have liked to see it fleshed out a bit more, as opposed to having maddy’s penultimate act of revenge delivered off-page. it felt quite anticlimactic when all was said and done.
regardless, i tore through this book in two days, and i think that’s a testament to its quality! would definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking for a good horror read ☺️
