The Resting Place by Camilla Sten
3.0
I think what let me down on this book was how it was advertised as “horror”. I loved The Lost Village and was expecting the same spookiness, atmosphere, and tension that made it so enjoyable. This book, while fine in it’s own right, is more of a family drama/domestic thriller.
I was expecting the house to be a foreboding character into itself; but, it was glossed over repeatedly. We were told how scared everyone was but didn’t get a good feeling as to why. The sense of place that made Lost Village excellent was missing here.
I enjoy Camilla Sten’s writing and will definitely give her next book a read. This wasn’t a bad read but because it was mismarketed as horror, it was let down.
