I really enjoyed this book. It is a real page turner. I ended up reading this over two days. I would recommend this book!!!
I am typically not a big fan of possession or sci-fi type stuff, i feel like most of the time it is overdone and makes me roll my eyes thinking COME ON. I didn’t love this book(why does the cat have to die?! i also agree “potato” girl certainly took away some of the spooky)but i didn’t hate it. For the ghostly/possession part, i actually found it intriguing, done in a way that really had me thinking “oh sh*t this ghost is legit,” and kept my heart beating fast.
This has the same tired plot and themes as all of Jennifer McMahon's books but with a dozen or so extra plot holes and a weaker ending.
I enjoyed the story - a ghost story mixed with a little "who done it", however I didn't like that the ending just kind of dropped off and nothing else was really said about the main characters. The mystery was solved and she might as well have ended it with "The End". I do enjoy this author though, but I thought her other newer novels were better.
I'm a fan of this author, but this one didn't capture me as much as usual. A grown woman returns to her childhood town in Vermont to assess the health and situation of her mother, who has Alzheimer's. When she was just ten years old, her friend was murdered, and the very night she returns, another girl is. Are they connected? Has the ghost of her dead friend returned? The whole thing was not bad, but just ok.
This book was surprisingly really good! I expected not to enjoy it from the bad reviews I have seen but it came highly recommended from people I trust with recommendations so I gave it a shot and boy am I happy that I did! I enjoyed the way the time jump chapter hops were written and the way the characters were written in. I did not expect what unfolded at all at the end to happen. When it was explained about who the killer was and why they did it I was completely blindsided and I enjoy when that happens in books like this! I also enjoy the plot twist about Opal and the plot twist about Nicky. I also absolutely loved that in the end it wasn't neatly wrapped in a bow about who ended up with whom. 4/5 stars for me!
For mystery/thriller, this was a nice book! You get to jump back and forth in the timelines to get to know all characters and the plot through both time periods!
