The Reddening by Adam L.G. Nevill

challenging dark mysterious slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

The first part of this book, the build-up, was probably the best part. It was tense, mysterious and creepy. However, that faded fast. I found the writing too descriptive and almost condescending. 
I loved The Ritual but the other Nevill books I’ve read just haven’t hit the same. 
The characters weren’t distinct enough and I was confused who was who in the climactic last few chapters. The mystery remained a mystery and I just finished the book feeling overall unsatisfied.
