millmashxo 's review for:

The Creeper Man by Dawn Kurtagich
3.0

I don't usually read horrors, I'll be honest, but the synopsis intrigued me.

This book is about Cilla and Nori, Two sisters, who flee their abusive family situation to go and live with their aunt Cath in her huge manor, La Baume, located beside Python Wood. Aunt Cath starts off quite normal when the girls arrive but grows more crazy until one day she goes to the attic never to return.

The first third of this book really freaked me out and I was scared walking at night. I also really enjoyed the way it was written, with flashbacks, narrative from both sisters at times and the typography.

I struggled with the plot. *spoliers ahead* and was gunning for a happy ending. I mean the girls had been through enough. The huge twist that people keep going on about really frustrated me and made me quite angry.

I mean the book was really good up to a point but the ending was shit.
