The Haunting of Rookward House

2.5 Stars

I finished this book last night and I'm still mad at it. Even though couldn't stand the main character ( I seem to have a problem with a lot of Coates MC's), halfway through I was super into it...and even better I was a bit spooked. I want to say I've read most of Coates “The Haunting of ...” books and I DO like how she sets up a great scary atmosphere. Which is probably why I keep going back to her books ( One time I said I wouldn't anymore and clearly I had to eat my own words LOL).

So why the 2.5? With roughly 1/3 left to the book...shit went sideways. Even for a ghost story it was weird and unexplained. Not to mention that the ending was a bunch of bullshitty ass bullshit. My other half was quite taken aback when I yelled EFF THIS WHOLE BOOK once I was done after repeatedly telling him some parts were kind of spooking me a bit lol. If I had liked the end more I'd have at least given it 3 stars because even with a slow start I WAS enjoying it. But no. NO.
