Last Rituals by Yrsa Sigurðardóttir
3.0

This was a slow buildup story that follows Thora and Matthew as they try and solve the mysterious murder of the foreign exchange student Harold.

The beginning starts off with a bang and hooks the reader off the bat. Then the story comes to a halt and then slowly builds itself back up as these two begin to uncover the events that took place.

I have this a 3 star rating because it wasn’t as suspenseful as I thought it was going to be. Nor did it have any paranormal activity that I went in thinking there was going to be based off of how the story started off. I was also a little disappointed in how it really ended and what the cause of death was for. All in all it was a decent read, but I did feel a little let down.
