pickPeople call this book terrifying, but with its narrative structure and multiple points of view (after the fact), it never felt creepy. It felt much more like a cable documentary. Still, I had to get to the end, knowing Carrie‘s point of view. I think King wanted us to empathize with Carrie, only to remind us in the end that we‘re just another one of the bullies who viewed her as a freak-show as we rushed to the end of this thriller.

I really wanted to like this book but unfortunately didn‘t work for me. But I read it which I wanted to. The story of a haunted house where supposedly the owner get hurst but still stays there because she likes the hoy use and the ghost was ridiculous. More a mental health issue than horror. There were interesting parts but in general not what I expected. Love the cover though 2.5/3⭐️
pickI liked this paranormal mystery about an inheritance and very sad family trauma. Watch your expectations for this one, though connected to the headless horseman story, it is very different. Also this is not a romance, which I actually appreciated. I liked our characters who are definitely flawed and there was a solid mystery. I did guess the villain fairly early, but I still enjoyed the journey. 4⭐️
Woohoo #bookspin done!
