Phantom Effect by Michael Aronovitz
1.0
I was so excited to read this book. I thought it would be a lot of things. Tense, scary, thrilling.
It started off good. Got weird, and then fizzled.
There was no part that was remotely scary. Except maybe the part where Marissa saw Jonathan breaking in.
Marissa (the victim/psychic) is an annoying character. Jonathan has an interesting back story as to how he came to be. But that's all kind of wasted by the fact that he doesn't experience what it was like to be stalked by himself. Unless I read the book the wrong way. It seems like he was in Marissa's head taking a stroll down memory lane instead. Or recounting events.
1.5 stars for a promising beginning.
