This was my first book by this author, and I had heard great things about her work, especially her use of supernatural and paranormal elements, which I absolutely love. However, this book was a bit of a letdown for me. I was expecting more ghostly and spooky scenes, as well as more thrilling moments.
I loved that this story is set in the mid-90s, and I enjoyed all the cultural references from that era. It evoked a strong sense of nostalgia and was a wonderful trip down memory lane. Additionally, the absence of the internet, cell phones, and social media, due to the time period, felt refreshing and added to the charm of the story.
The plot was intriguing, but the pace was slow, and it felt quite repetitive. It seemed like I was reading the same things over and over without much progress in the story. I was hoping for more action and suspense, but there was a lack of buildup. By the time we reached the big reveal at the end, it felt disappointing and underwhelming.
However, I still enjoyed the story, and it kept me guessing throughout. I was intrigued enough to keep reading, and the spooky moments did manage to feel creepy.
The characters were likable, but they didn’t undergo much development and felt a bit flat to me.
The book includes some mild language but no explicit spicy scenes.
Overall, I liked the book but am eager to explore other works by this author. I’ve heard her backlist is stronger than this one. If you’re a fan of the author or find the plot appealing, I recommend giving it a try, but keep your expectations low.
