mangopeachtea 's review for:
A Flicker in the Dark
by Stacy Willingham
*sigh*
I've never smacked my own face so many times.
I've never read a thriller where the girl does all the stereotypical things they make fun of people for doing in horror/thrillers. I swear if the FMC was being chased, she would have hidden in a shed with axes 🤦♀️
The book had a great premise but i feel like the author just rushed many parts of the story. It’s not a bad plot, although I had a theory of the plot twist and was pleased to have been right, it still seemed pretty predictable and a little wish washy. The biggest issue I had with this book was that there were too many suspects too quickly and their stories felt so unfinished.
I wish the dads physical presence had been somewhere in the book, I wish her mom had played a bigger role (did she end up dying?), some actions don’t make sense, what was the point of the new killings occurring (it was never outright explained why it happened the way it happened).
Too many plot holes and unfinished thoughts. Overall interesting story, but need some work.
Honestly felt that this was more mystery then it is thriller. I don't think I would recommed it as a Thriller or even a Psychological Thriller... But as a mystery, absolutely.
The book is not to badly written, ending wasn't 'super' predictable. But, I knew a few chapters in who it was. It was way too obvious with the way they try to point you to a different character, but to me, I guessed right away. That twist at the end would have really gotten me a few years ago. At this point, I have read so many mystery thriller books that it’s become hard to shock me with the endings.
The one thing I don’t understand is why Chloe’s dad left the box that had the evidence in it in a spot where someone could easily reach it. He should have put it up on a high shelf and pushed it to the back??
