The way the past was woven into the present was beautiful and eerie. You
never quite knew where the danger was going to come from, but you knew
it was coming. I loved Sammy and thought he was one of the greatest
things about this book. We need to see characters who are not
mainstream, but who have struggles in their day to day lives. The
portrayal of the relationship between Sarah and Sammy was awesome to
see. Her protectiveness of him was well written.
I found the
love triangle to be a distraction from the real story. I felt that one
of the characters acted out of the character that had been written
during one of the last scenes. It felt a little too convenient that this
character would behave that way.
I almost didn't read this
because people kept talking about how scary the book was. I didn't
really find it to be frightening. There was definitely a slow build
toward the climax. The ending seemed a little rushed and a tad
confusing as Sarah rushes around the house. I wasn't sure how she was
able to do what she did since she had never been able to do it before.
The
first line is so intriguing - "I was sixteen the first time my
grandmother died." Got your interest? It got mine, but that was never
addressed in the rest of the book. Does this mean her grandmother will
be coming back from the dead? Or is a reincarnation? You never get to
know what Sarah meant by that. I was a little disappointed by that.
I will be picking up the next book and look forward to reading it.
There was one damn in the book and no sex. It was a really clean read which I appreciated.
