Reviews with content warning for Confinement - The Watchers

This was so much fun omg. I loved the concept and it was so perfectly eerie. The pacing could’ve maaaybe been a little better but it didn’t really detract from my enjoyment at all. The ending left me wanting for a lot more though 😭 I’m so glad the yellow one existed in this universe, it was the sweetest touch and made me happy in moments that were really tense

This was so good. I had trouble really getting into it but then I just wanted to listen nonstop. The twist got me so bad I did not see that one coming ijs. Can’t wait to read more by this author!

A fantastically creepy, chilling story. It's a great one of you want something thrilling without gore ir body horror. I really love a modern book that adds in twists of folk lore. Some things in the plot you can see a mile off but it does not negate from the fantastic story.

Literally loved it up until the last moment. I felt it leave on a nothing but otherwise it’s an amazing creepy story based around Irish folklore.

I have been pondering picking up The Watchers for awhile - it catches my eye every time I go into a bookstore and see the gorgeous red edges. As a horror fan, I love a claustrophobic tale filled with tension and terror, and The Watchers fits the bill. Although I had some issues getting into the book at the start (it is written in a much more literary style than I am used to when it comes to horror books) and have some serious questions about the mechanics of the ending, it's a book that I really enjoyed.

Read this if you like:
-Literary horror
-Claustrophobic and intense books
-Irish folklore
-More twists and turns than a country road (please stay off the country roads)
