A review by exorcismemily
Gretchen by Shannon Kirk

4.0

"She feels like a tempting game. Or she and I are a tempting game. Two trains about to collide. A beautiful horror. An irresistible, bad, bad addiction. I can't look away."

Gretchen is kind of a blend of things (or a puzzle, which is a major theme in the book) - it's gothic and psychological horror, and also a suspense novel. I really enjoyed this story, and putting all the pieces together to figure out what was going on. There are several different storylines happening in this book, but everything is woven together well.

The beginning has kind of a slow start, but I was always interested enough to keep going. I wasn't wild about the ending, either, but everything still worked well together. There are so many intriguing characters in this book, and I really enjoyed reading this book. I can't wait to see what Shannon Kirk does next!
