Run Time / Catherine Ryan Howard
⭐️⭐️⭐️✨
So, as I keep my CRH saga going, I gotta say I really enjoyed this. I really appreciate how all of her works are so different. Loving all the different concepts.
Adele comes back to Ireland to shoot a hush hush indie horror movie in the woods of West Cork. Sparking from a previous experience that exiled her away to the States she takes the money and flies.
From there, we get a duel story, of a movie script that’s seemingly replicating Adele’s previous experiences as well as what is happening currently.
The tension, it was a page turner in the fact that you wanted to see what happened/is happening. It’s been a while since I read anything in the horror genre. It was a good reintro.
The villain reveal, while appreciated, was expected.
I suppose the reason I gave this 3.5 is that like in horror films, the ending generally is not satisfying. Though props, this is acknowledged in the last chapter!
The duel timeline could be a bit confusing, but I liked the difference and similarities.
Will definitely continue in this journey!
