3.5. I love ania !!! I'm working my way through her back list. You can tell this is an earlier book bc it doesn't have quite the twist ending her new stuff does. But the story is intriguing and kept my interest

it wasn't bad, parts seemed rushed and a lot left unsaid. I don't know. I wanted more.

Always love Ania

But this one was just missing something for me, maybe it was because it was the first one I’ve read that had a HEA

I really, really did not like this book. I am not sure I can evaluate it properly cause I don't have any interest in the whole horror/gore genre so I am not sure how it compares to others of its kind but I found it totally predictable and completely cliqued and unoriginal. Each added plot twist was either completely expected or if not totally expected, selected from one of 2 or 3 possible lines..and many of the choices just made me groan. I found the first 2/3rds of the book totally boring...in the last third I was at least curious how it would play out and I hoped it would have a twist someone but in the end, no twist. No interesting characters, no depth. At least it wasn't too long...if it hadn't been a book club book, I would have dumped it after the first 80 pages or so.
