I must admit to nearly giving up on this story half way through but, I'm glad that I didn't. This was a very dark tale from an accomplished author and I'm looking forward to the sequel.
I care about proper English. I think an author insults me and wastes my time when the book is full of misspellings, uses the wrong tenses, and substitutes Inaccurate pronouns, such as he for she. Unfortunately, this book was full of those kinds of mistakes. I don't plan to read any more of this author's work.
Once again the author takes you from the current day and back in time while maintaining the focus of her story. Had a few late night's as I couldn't put the book down
I struggled to stick with this one, it really seemed to drag and yet I enjoyed the character and most of the story. It took a while to really get started. Not my favorite, but decent.
I am hoping to read the second series of Darper Danver soon. The book was interesting. I liked the characters. I did notice that there some English phrases that seemed out of place in the book however, I did enjoy it. I love books from Amy Cross and I would recommend her books to anyone. If interested Asylum was a good read as well.
I have read several books by Amy Cross and have enjoyed them all. This is another good story with great characters. I'm hoping for more books to be written in this series.
The only reason I can't give this a 5 star is I was getting into this book I was at the end when you get coming soon to find out the real ending I really hate when book's end this way. I loved this book it was so good
This SUPERNATURAL THRILLER kept me totally on edge. It is truly SCARY in that I can believe the happenings could be REAL . I don't believe anyone should mess with OUIJA BOARD. THESE PEOPLE DID and look what happened to them!!! I RECOMMEND, an Amazing read.
