dark mysterious medium-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Plot

Strong character development: Yes

Loveable characters: Complicated

Diverse cast of characters: Yes

Flaws of characters a main focus: No

The way this book keeps you is guessing is next level. The entire book I didn’t have a clue!
I thought it was going to be way scarier than it was. I’m glad it wasn’t. I’m not a huge supernatural fan, but this book was just enough to still be believable. The narrator Suzy Jackson really brought the story to life. Such an easy listen.

delirious_wraith's review against another edition

3.0

dark tense slow-paced

Characters weren't really fleshed out. The FMC was doubtful and inactive for a large part of the book and with reasons that don't really fit for a realistic woman. You can tell the characters are written by a man very well. Nothing too absurd luckily, but noticable which is a shame. The plot and the twists were ok but there were flaws. For example

the mystery possibly ghost woman in the pictures draws with her left hand whereas a clue to the possessed people not being themselves while drawing is the fact that they are "lefties" and their right hands are used to make the drawings while possessed, so it must be ghost lady. But, huh? The ghost is also a lefty, makes no sense. Also the ghost speas no English but in the moment of need of the fmc the ghost understands her perfectly in English.... The fmc won't tell police about the drawings but the whole house is still covered in them since they didn't get around to painting the walls yet. So the police would have found out and had questions about it

also the male writer puts a lot of emphasis the females gaining of losing weight or their general body shape and fitness.

Did it move a little slow, yes. Potholes, plenty. Believable, realistic characters, no. Was it enjoyable, sure.
