The Haunting of Beatrix Greene Episode 1 by Rachel Hawkins, Ash Parsons, Vicky Alvear Schecter
2.0
2.75 ⭐️
The premise of the book had me intrigued, plus I was hearing a buzz on the same about the book in booktube community, as the episodes were released.
The format was new, and was intended to be released periodically as episodes. And each episode was written by a different author. So the storyline, even when it transitions through, varies slightly depending on the author. Some prefer to accentuate the romance between the main characters, while others the hainting aspect. Some make it more gruesome than the other.
When Beatrix Greene is invited to Ashbury manor, as a part to prove to James Walker the existence of ghosts and supernatural being, while herself being a charlatan of sorts in the spiritual medium community, she doesn’t think that she would come face to face with an actual haunting. To stay at the manor for one night was the deal, but if they would survive was an entirely different story.
The story winds around this haunted manor, where the lady had killed herself and her youngest son in a mad frenzy at night. And ever since, there has been speculations on the same. James wants to know of there was any truth in the matter, and in his search for the one spiritual medium, ends up exposing a lot of party tricks.
Like i said, the story progresses in different angles depending on the author of that episode, which could get tiresome. And the blossoming love between the characters when lives are at stake was kinda unprecidented and unnecessary.
The last showdown with the malevolent being had raised goosebumps on my arms but kinda fell flat with some very untimely anti-misogynistic sentiments.
