A review by torrie_reads
Mosaic by Catherine McCarthy

3.5


Thoughts 

This book wasn't what I expected at all. I'm used to religious horror being more of the F* the patriarchy. But I still enjoyed this. 

I feel like it is important to note that this is Gothic horror. Gothic as in almost nothing happens until the very end and then you are hit with everything and it feels like a whirlwind. 

I say that but like any good Gothic novel it does a good job of building the tension. It's that heavy breath waiting to look around the corner not knowing what going to be there. 

McCarthy definitely painted a picture of creepy and kept me coming back to find out what was going on with that stained glass window. 

While I enjoyed it, I do feel like there were some loose ends or things not explained well enough.  Maybe there were left open for interpretation but I feel like some of it should have been explained.
