Roost by Hope Madden

3.0

This is a tough book to rate. I enjoyed the beginning, but then it started to read more like a screenplay than a novel. I think the story itself was great and had a lot of cool elements; I haven't read Easter horror before! I liked how the chapters were laid out and how we jumped forward in time with the Murphys. But the story is told almost entirely through dialogue which made it hard to make sense of the world in my head. Omniscient POV is extremely hard to pull off and I felt it was a downside in this novel, I think it would have been stronger had we been in the twins heads. I will still continue to read this author if they put anything else out because I can feel the love of horror.
