Frightmares by Eva V. Gibson
2.0
Haunted house gone wrong, murderer hidden in plain sight… The idea behind this book is really awesome. However, I felt like the story dragged on too long. The murder itself was discovered on page 71 & by the time I got to page 281 & I realized, “damn nothing is happening.” I mean literally nothing progressed in the story to solving this mystery. You don’t know if anyone is really dead or if Dave is maybe just having a psychotic breakdown.. you have no idea who the murderer could be… nada. It too way too long to get to the point in my opinion
Also, Dave’s decision making from the time he discovers the body up until the confrontation is just dumbfounding to me. I know the kids only 17 so you could chalk it up his stupidity to adolescence but it’s hard to believe that someone could be this daft, despite the understandably frightening situation he found himself in. He annoyed me throughout a majority of this book.
Overall I didn’t hate the book or anything but I wouldn’t rush to recommend it either. It was just an “OK” rating for me thus the 2⭐️s
