Don’t skip this one!

I’m SHOCKED this is Isabel Cañas’s first novel. Her lyrical prose and character development was perfection (kisses fingers). I listened to it on audible and the voices were fantastic, but I think I’m going to buy it in print as well just so I can re-read the descriptions I may have glossed over the first time. One of my new favorite authors, I can’t wait to read more by her.

Easy occult read

I was unsure about this book since it was marketed more as YA ( not my genre of choice) but I really enjoyed it! I read it in a day and it held my attention the entire time. I would categorize this more as a thriller than as true horror.

I nearly put this book down 400 times over the course of reading it. Not only did it not scare or hold my interest, I was actually bored.

There was zero character development. I don’t think I’ve ever read a book in it’s entirety and not know a single thing about any of the primary character’s personalities.

Gratuitous sex scenes written by the female POV -by a man. Need I say more? If you’re a male novelist either don’t write sex scenes from a female POV, or consult a female. Hell, consult multiple females! Most of the scenes added little to nothing to story line, and were downright unrealistic.

I could not hold onto the suspension of disbelief in this story. The backstory of the how the town became haunted was poorly written and felt thrown together at the last minute to give the present-day story some credence. It really felt like I was reading two stories simultaneously - neither very good.

The ending was ridiculous. I’m sorry but you, a human man, were able to vanquish centuries worth of angry spirits by killing yourself and moving the ghost blob you now inhabit to another place? I was literally laughing out loud at how stupid this ending was.

Do yourself a favor and don’t read this.

Terrible. Don’t waste your time

I really wanted to like this and was intrigued through the first few chapters. Then disappointed as the story continued. It was like someone rushed to tie pieces together in the end and did a shit job.

Same old same old story of girl being crazy making up shit in her head. There are a few twists but this was lame. Returning

Like reading the first page of 17 different novels.

I wanted to like this book. It’s a Reese sunshine book club pick and while characters are imaginative, the story doesn’t go anywhere. This is one of those story lines where there are several narratives going on at once. You assume that somewhere they will converge and a plot will emerge. Not so. There are many characters across a wide expanse of them but nothing actually happens in this book. The author’s attempt to tie in social issues with the narrative feels forced as well.
