Did not finish book. Stopped at 40%.

I am going to have to soft DNF this book. I got about halfway through and wasn't in the right headspace to keep going. I will pick it up again later. 

Thank you edelweiss for letting me review this.

I read a little over half the stories but I got bored. I wanted to like this one because I like some authors, but I couldn't get through them. I wish it was a little scarier and something more. 

Thank you Netgalley

This was a quick Christmas Eve read for me, and I did enjoy it. The only issue I had with the book was that the ending felt a little rushed, and I wish there had been more time spent with the mom dealing with her past. I could see where Kim Newman was trying to go with the story, but I just felt that it didn't hit the mark with me. Will I pick up their other series? Probably, but not anytime soon. 

Thank you Netgalley for letting me give my honest review
