The Haunting of Beatrix Greene Episode 1 by Rachel Hawkins, Ash Parsons, Vicky Alvear Schecter
4.0
Beatrix, you better run girl. RUN.
I am weary of multiple authors when it’s not something they do a lot of. I really didn’t know what to expect. This blew my expectations away by far.
Beatrix Greene is a spiritual medium and is one of the best in the business. James Walker, a scientist, has made it his work to expose all mediums as the frauds he believes they are. He’s looking for a real medium, like Beatrix to help prove, or disprove, that Ashbury Manor is indeed haunted. Beatrix agreed to prove Ashbury is not haunted, but in turn, gets trapped in there with evil all around them.
Each episode is written by a different author. I liked how they was done so that the story or episode wasn’t convoluted with different writing styles.
I really enjoyed the different characters. They were all so very different and there was even an American in the works! (Which was awesome because she basically said let the women do the work”) I really enjoyed Amanda’s and Beatrix’s relationship. It hurt it was cut so short.
The wallpaper with the hands sticking out was beyond creepy. Loved the imagery. I loved LOVED the twist (I don’t want to spoil). All the love and support was such light in a dark story.
Overall, I enjoyed this book. It was well balanced with the horror and creepiness without being too disturbing or too cheesy. I liked the characters and was glad this was a quick read.
Thank you NetGalley and Serial Box for the gifted copy.
