I didn’t read all 4 just The Taking of Annie Thorne but couldn’t find that on here as an individual book.

This had all the components of a good thriller. Narrator was slightly unreliable but his wit and dry humour made  him likeable despite his flaws.

I did want to find out what happened to Annie, and what was up with the town in general.

I guessed some of the revelations about one of the characters, but there were two twists and I didn’t get the 2nd one.

But despite having all these good components I just wasn’t on the edge of my seat. Maybe it was the supernatural stuff and that it was just all too vague.

I can’t put my finger on it, I felt like I should have been gripped…but I wasn’t! I’d read another by the same author though.

Spoiler alert. The book was well written. Similar to Stephen King’s , Pet Cemetery.

A little too far fetched for me. If found it a little repetitive and suggesting body snatching/ recantation which is a little too out there for me. I did find some elements surprising. Would probably not recommend to others to read but wasn’t a bad book.
