tea_kay 's review for:
If I Stopped Haunting You
by Colby Wilkens
2/5. ⭐⭐
Mk.
I went into this with absolutely high expectations, because romance and paranormal...horror..a retreat at a haunted Scottish mansion...how does none of that sound perfect? Unfortunately, it fell super flat for me. I think this is one of the only books that I only read a few pages, and had immediate distaste for the main characters....and it never got better.
Our FMC is simply toxic and whiny, and I truly could not stand her. The victim card is irritating to me, and I just didn't connect with either character. None of them.
The enemies to loves aspect didn't work for me either. We start off, quite literally in the first few pages, with the FMC physically assaulting the MMC, and the rest of the book is them being childish then magically becoming romantically involved. The romance just felt....lackluster. It was just sudden with nothing to back it up.
Also, this is not my idea of horror.
This had so much more potential, because the concept is such a great idea. Perhaps it just wasn't for me.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for this arc!
