I'm going to have to agree with everyone else here and say I think this started out great and then just kinda slowed way down. A really interesting premise though and available on Audible Plus is anyone wants to give it a try!
It's been a while since I've read a 5-Star book.
I'm not a huge fan of reading horror, because sometimes the horror element doesn't translate as well for me. But, I do enjoy Japanese horror novels - the classic Ring by Koji Suzuki, for one.
This book offers an interesting spin on the horror tropes of Ju-On: The Grude and The Ring. The book has its fair share of horror elements, that's as much fun to read as it woudo eb to watch a good horror jump scare. The plot is fast paced and layered. The characters are well crafted and you want to invest in their journey.
This book has all the best things from a good horror movie, and gives all its characters the respect they deserve.
If you want me to be happy, all you have to do is give me a book with
- ghosts
- a sarcastic boy
- murder and revenge
- Asian legends
- around 300 pages
- a sequel
and I will be satisfied.
If this is horror. ....then I'm dead inside. This book was very very dull. The POV's alone were annoying but i could have dealt with if the story was any bloody good. And it wasn't. None of it was. NONE OF IT.
