ushashib 's review for:
Silvers Hollow
by Patrick R. Delaney
The story opens with a woman waking up in a dark railway station with no memory of how she reached there and finding that she's in her childhood hometown, Silvers Hollow. Only there's something wrong about the town that she can't quite put a finger on. What transpires from there is a dark horror/mystery that will keep you as confused as the protagonist and turning the pages.
This book was going so well till the last 10 pages. I was lost, full of questions and theories on 'What the hell is going on!'. The terror is subtle for the most part. The writing is atmospheric and keeps you glued to the pages. I was loving it and was all set to give this book a 5-star review. But then the story ended and I thought my copy was not downloaded properly.
But I HATE ambiguous ending in a thriller. When I read a mystery I want all (at least most) the mysteries solved by the last page. And that's where it fell apart for me. I couldn't believe that that's how this book is going to end. More than half of the questions in the story are left unanswered, and the big reveal although unexpected was not strong enough to hit the right chords. If you like vague endings, go for it. But if that's not your cup of tea, then chances are the ending will leave you furious like me.
