Couldn't Put it Down!

I was NOT at all sure what to expect from this book, and definitely didn't expect to love it. I struggled a little bit in the beginning with it switching to past-present and keeping the characters straight but after a few chapters, I was HOOKED. I couldn't put it down. I couldn't wait to get home from work just so I could read it. After I finished it, I immediately went and added several more books from this author to my Wish List.

Read in one day!

Enjoyed it alot. Suspense. Eerie and kinda sad. This author writes well and doesn't drag on.

i did not care for any of the characters

it was just one big shoulder shrug.

Wow, what a story!!

I absolutely love this author. This book I could not put down! It had me intrigued from the start! Highly recommended this one!

excellent mystery

perfect winter book to curl up to during a winter storm.A perfect blend of suspense, folklore, classic ghost story, and mystery. I got the same satisfied feeling after completing this as I used to when reading r.l. Stine's "Fear Street Saga" books! Not an overload of romance or squishy feelings to bog down solid story-telling while creating an entire atmosphere of supernatural and human intrigue.

Great!

First book I have read by this author, and I was not disappointed.

Amazing!

This is the first book I’ve read by this author and I loved it! It was hard to put it down once I picked it up. I’ve already ordered 2 other books by her and can’t wait to dive into them!

Amazing! 10/10

I bought this book a few months ago and just got around to reading it today, and man am I glad I decided to do so! This is one of the best books I’ve ever read in my entire life! I would highly suggest it to anyone, fans of the paranormal or not! I wish I could read it for the first time all over again!

Fantastic thriller!

This book is different than the type I usually read but I loved it and I didn't want it to end. It was hard to put it down, but I did -over the course of a week- because I didn't want it to end! I could just picture it as a movie... So cool yet creepy. Really different. I also appreciated the subtle reference to Dismantled in here. (In similar style, many creative art references.) Looking forward to reading more from this author!

A new favorite!

Creepy! I had to stay up through the night to finish it. While the end story did seem a bit "odd", it left me with that residual feeling of creepiness that only a good horror book can. Looking forward the reading the second book "The Invited". I am quite confident that this author has the talent to make every book she writes great! Definitely recommend!

Awesome Ghost Story

A ghost story with some substance! Loved this & read it quickly.
