A review by bookfessional
Amityville Horrible by Kelley Armstrong
3.0
3.5 stars
Poor Jaime.
After swearing off televised specials (b/c of the fiasco that the last one was in No Humans Involved), she gets roped into doing another one, but hopes to mitigate the potential fallout by including very specific demands in her contract.
Alas, she is thwarted . . .
SO. Apparently there are lots of WotO fans who hate Jaime. I'm not one of them. If you are, you might want to skip this one, but if you're on the fence . . . it might help you understand her a bit better. It offers insight into her and Jeremy's relationship, specifically, his influence helping her save the self-deprecation for the Hollywood types, which in turn explains why she does it all.
Beyond that, it was creeptastic. Seriously. Ghosts are never my thing, but this time . . . like I said, CREEPY.
Definitely worth a shot for the die-hard fan.
SIDENOTE: there are illustrations in a lot of Armstrong's novellas, and I've mostly found them to be . . . distracting. Not this time. Ever since I binge watched Bitten on Netflix, I haven't been able to get passed how creeped out I was by the actor playing Jeremy. While I found the sexy times to be a bit awkward, I definitely appreciated the pic of a very non-creeptacular Jeremy--it helped me break out of the mindset.
