A review by nixbix_reads
Run Time by Catherine Ryan Howard

3.0

I enjoyed this but it never felt like it was going to pick up & take off. I really like the movie script being included and the whole life imitating art imitating art aspect - it added a level of creepiness to the story. I also really liked the atmosphere, with the house surrounded by sinister-looking woods, stuck in the middle of nowhere with a sketchy film crew. It just gave a slowly growing feeling of horror & doom that had me wondering what was going to happen to Adele next.

However, it just left me feeling underwhelmed. That slowly building tension petered out early, leaving a limp conclusion. I did think it was very easy to read, and I love the writing style - and the shout outs to Jurassic Park!
