And the Trees Crept In by Dawn Kurtagich
4.0

This book reminded me of the author's other book, Dead House. Both started off so perfectly eerie and creepy. And both ended in ways that I didn't love but didn't hate. I have conflicting thoughts and I am not entirely sure why.

Like I said, this book was perfectly haunting. I loved that. But about halfway through or so I figured out what was happening. The ending confirmed my suspicion. I think that the reason I didn't totally love the ending was because I guessed it. I wanted it to be something more than it was. Not that it was bad, I just wanted something... else.

My only other issue was that certain parts of the book dragged, they were just too repetitive. But other than that, I really loved this book. I will 100% buy any future horror novel this author writes.
