Kari’s cousin gives her a bracelet that belonged to her mother and sets off a chain of events towards discovering the truth behind her disappearance.
At first Kari thinks she’s going crazy when she starts to have visions, but discovers her mother is leading her to the truth of what happened all those years ago.
The story was very slow to start; it seemed like it was setting up different directions but none of them really panned out and all were forgotten. All the evidence or hints that Kari got were practically handed to her and it took other characters to push her towards her mother.
Also, I’ve seen this advertised as a horror but after reading it, I don’t agree at all. Unless that by mentioning Stephen King so many times it’s horror by proxy?
There was also a section near the end where she visits the famous Overlook Hotel that Stephen King’s The Shinning takes place. This whole visit felt completely out of place but we didn’t stop hearing how much of a fan Kari is so I guess it was kind of interesting?
The scenes were repetitive and the writing was a bit too boring. It felt very monotonous and monologuing at times. I got lost during the climax when we’re told
The story doesn’t really get interesting until the few chapters and even then it wasn’t great.
In the end I couldn’t find myself caring about what happened to any of the characters.
