beelzebubskis 's review for:
Ghost Eaters
by Clay McLeod Chapman
*spoiler*
I really enjoyed this book. I enjoyed the plot, and some things were very relatable (as in trying to help someone, until you cannot bear to anymore) so as it was relatable, aside from all of the paranormal stuff, this made me think about a lot. The author definitely could have expanded certain spirits Erin did see and why they were there. Some of the book I could clearly imagine in my head, then there were other parts I was simply just lost. Towards the end it was somewhat predictable (for me at least) and I had a few “I knew it” moments. The way Tobias suddenly became outgoing, and conversational was kind of a tell tale sign that a spirit (Silas) must’ve taken over his body. His manipulative demeanor and his dialogue was a tell tale sign it was Silas because Tobias was basically a leech stuck on Silas. There were a few things I just didn’t understand in the book, or didn’t see the relevance in adding it to the book but I digress. I enjoyed Erin the main character. Amara and Tobias annoyed me. Silas annoyed me the most. But I suppose they were meant to. All in all, despite some of the things I’ve listed, I did enjoy this book and finished it relatively quickly. The plot hooked me in and made me wonder what was next to come. I liked how the “ghosts” resembled things that just haunt us at human beings. Traumatic experiences, toxic relationships, etc which turn us to darker things like drugs.
