A review by graceg
The Book of Cold Cases by Simone St. James

2.75

I’ve read a couple of books by this author and I hate to say this has been my least favorite. I found myself feeling very detached from the characters and any plot twists were easily guessed and not very juicy. I struggle with paranormal books because they always come off a bit cheesy and are often not very scary. I know that this book was written first but it felt like a not as good version of Riley Sagar’s “The Only One Left”.

Beth’s secret half sister and her not so great home life felt forced. I also thought it made no sense after learning about her character that Lily’s ghost didn’t kill Shea? And why didn’t she try to kill shea earlier? Beth suddenly killing Lily after she had cut her a massive amount of slack for years felt very out of place even after Beth’s parents died.

Pretty ‘eh’ and forgettable unfortunately.
