All Things Seen and Unseen: A Novel
by RJ McDaniel
While this story was enjoyable to read, I am also left wholly unsatisfied.
The marketing for this book made it out to be a horror, or at least something more suspenseful than it was. But I found that this story lacked all elements of those claims. The main character does suffer from paranoia, therefore they are afraid throughout the book, but otherwise it was not a thrilling read for the reader. I found myself surprised that the house was not mentioned hardly at all through the book as the house sitting was the premise of the location and at first began to subject a sinister plot, but then that was all hastily dropped. I think the marketing team just needs to rethink what this book is about and how to portray it.
The story itself apart from those issues was good. I enjoyed the romance and that you are constantly wondering if what you’re reading is wholly the truth since the main character is unreliable. I do wish the story delved more deeply into the romantic relationship or the characters experience as outsiders in the village. Since it was a shorter book, I found myself wanting just a bit more out if it’s plot.
Thanks NetGalley and ECW Press for an ARC of this book.
