The Haunting of Brynn Wilder by Wendy Webb
2.0
So I went into this thinking it was horror because that’s what I was searching on audible and it was under it. This is NOT horror. It also has it marked as scary and it’s not that either. That was disappointing but I don’t hold that against the author or book. Really it’s like a Danielle steel novel with paranormal aspects.
What I DO hold against this book is the fact that the author gave no real description of the FMC or MMC.
I have no idea how old they were, hair color, race, etc. I believe Dominque may have been black based on a couple remarks, but then if he was, an interaction that was had later with the sheriff was very racist and should have been addressed better by the characters involved.
I also wish that some where it had been marked that this was actually part of a series and the 6th book. They seem to be written so you can read them as standalone’s, but things and characters from book 5 were brought up and it probably would have added more to the story if I’d read that. Also, maybe then the sheriff wouldn’t have seemed to be a racist jackass since he was the MMC in the prior book.
There was a lot to this book that also just got repetitive and it was predictable. I probably won’t be going back to the start of the series.
The general idea for a town with paranormal aspects to it and having a romance for each MC isn’t a bad one, I just didn’t feel this was executed that well. As I said, it was especially frustrating to not have our FMC and MMC fleshed out completely.
