Definitely an interesting read. I enjoyed the style of writing and the characters. Had some creepy moments. Not sure I loved the end though.

Creepy and unsettling. There was plenty of build up to the end, which was pretty good.

Four creepy stories! I enjoyed them all. If I had to pick a favorite it would be “Lost Hearts” with “A View from a Hill” close behind.

Packs a serious punch in only 150 pages! Creepy stuff. The end was wonderful!

Overall, the story is good. In my opinion it didn’t live up to the hype. I had high expectations after reading the synopsis too! I wish there was a map, more world building, and less cheesiness toward the end with Iris and Roman. The writing was good and there was enough plot to keep me interested.

A good collection of short stories. Some better than others…a couple were a little boring. My favorite was “Late Returns”.

Definitely creepy! There were several things that made this story interesting…the family murders, going back to the scene after 25 years, and creepy things starting to happen. A couple plot twists were not as interesting as I hoped, but overall it was crazy!

I love Holly. I love Jerome and Barbara. I love creepy serial killers. I’m tired of Trump and the Pandemic. So, this book is a solid 4 stars for me.
