The Shuddering
by Ania Ahlborn
This is the first book I've read by this author and, although it is an easy read, it dragged on more than it should, while leaving the feeling that something is missing.
The main problem I found is that the characters were unintentionally cheesy and did not evolve through the book. I can point to a line that Ryan says as the moment I realised I did not like any of them and did not care for their survival. Frankly, the shorter vignettes at the beginning of the chapters in which strangers are attacked by the monsters are way more interesting than the main characters' story.
It seems that the author had an idea an started writing without really fleshing out the details. It feels rushed and uninspired.
