A review by the_creepy_geek
The Siren and The Spectre by Jonathan Janz

Did not finish book.
SpoilerDNF 61%- I just can't carry on with this one. It's not my thing, I feel super uncomfortable and the spooky house has been lost under a pile of child abuse, sexual assults, terrible representation of women (IMHO) and a main character who is either the object of a womans desire or judged as being a dangerous man who's only after one thing with no inbetween. He is sexually assulted and when he reports it to the female sheriff she assumes he is worried the woman will cry rape and he is totally ok with this. He doesn't even question her. Children are left to be neglected by their parents and everyone knows about but no one can do anything about it which is bullshit. In what world would children be allowed to stay in that house when all of the authorities know the situation, know that their ganrdfather is a child rapist but SENT THEM TO LIVE WITH HIM FOR A TIME and then when the foster family fell through, sent them back to their neglectful, abusive parents? WTF? I hated this. I really hated this.
