Gallows Hill by Darcy Coates
4.0

If you would have asked me around 100 pages in, I thought I was going to give up on this one. That's unusual for me with a Darcy Coates book. But I'm so glad I kept going.

The second half of this book was so creepy and exactly what I was looking for.

The funny thing is, I didn't even hate the first half, I think it just wasn't what I was expecting.

Darcy is always a descriptive writer but this was almost too much. It made it very movie-esque though. I could 100% see this on the big screen (as it should be).

My biggest complaint, and to me this is a huge one, there was a major aspect of the story that was reused literally from another book of hers I JUST read. To me that is lazy writing and it really bothered me.

Other than that, I actually do recommend this book but just go in prepared to maybe be bored a little bit
