4 Stars = It was a very good read. Might read it again.

0 peppers = No spice

This book was a fun read. It was a different twist on the typical serial killer mystery/thriller. The characters were nicely written and you definitely knew who you should and shouldn’t like.

Everything happened very quickly at the ending of the book but I feel like that was alright since the story leading up to it was a very engaging one.

I would have given this book five stars but I figured out the twist about halfway through. It is not super predictable but I feel like a lot of readers will catch onto it.

This was written in 1993 (when I was 4 years-old) and it was fun to see people talk about pay phones and landlines.

3 Stars= It was an enjoyable read

This has been promoted as a horror book and is supposed to be one. While I never got scared while reading this, I did get creeped out a few times.


For as long as I can remember, instead of screaming when I get scared or creeped out for some reason, I yell "EWW"! (mostly when watching movies) Which I found myself saying a couple of times while reading this story.


The story started off strong and was so good. It kept me very engaged at first but lost steam a little over halfway through. It began to seem a bit far-fetched and rushed. The ending left me feeling unsatisfied. I believe if the book were roughly 200 pages shorter, it would have been perfect.

I also found it very weird that the author named the main character in the story after himself. Was that just me?

Spoiler

What was up with the whole Fay telling the hollow man that enough was enough and him just being like "Oh, okay, sorry, I'll leave lol. Byyyeee?" After all they went through there is no way it was that easy to rid themselves of the evil entity.

All in all, this was a fun read and is worth checking out.

TRIGGER WARNING: Child Loss, Stillbirth

⭐⭐⭐⭐
I really like this book . It’s a very enjoyable story, but just short of epic. Certain areas may not be as fulfilling as they could have been. I’m not quite as captivated or blown away, but still had a great experience. I’d recommend this book to others and continue reading from this author. I would probably re-read it.


How well do you know the person you married?

My mom used to read Mary Higgins Clark books all the time when I was growing up and now I know why!

For me it was a slow burn but was worth the build up. I could not put this book down. It had me captivated from start to finish. The characters were wonderful and the story was well written.

I can’t wait to read more of her novels!

⭐⭐
Not a book for me and not one I would recommend. It didn’t hold my interest, and probably felt more of a chore to get through. Not completely terrible, but I didn’t have a good experience. This book was an enjoyable read, but there are several things I wish were done differently.

This book is good and worth reading. I enjoyed it but it felt a little lacking. I may recommend it to a certain audience. It gave me mixed feelings, possibly with potential it didn’t quite live up to. It’s a good experience, not amazing, but not bad.


The serial killer was very clever but the story itself was just alright. It was good enough to keep me entertained but not enough to keep giving me the urge to keep reading even night after night. I had to make a conscious effort to pick this one up.
