Very short, and didn't really add much. But a good introduction to what could be a great series
Okay, you’ll have to cut me a little slack because it’s been awhile (read: just over a year) since I read this book, so unfortunately, my review won’t be terribly detailed. It’s a little fitting, though, because this book was practically the definition of vague—I thought I’d been doing a pretty good job of keeping track of the scenery and all that while I was reading, but by the end, I had realized I had absolutely no idea what this dollhouse looked like inside, except for maybe a room or two. The premise was interesting in and of itself, but the novel introduced so many mysterious concepts without answering any questions that it was hard to stay focused. On top of that, there was just awkward dialogue and a love triangle that seemed there to create drama more than develop the characters, so all in all, I wasn’t a huge fan of this book. It ended on a cliffhanger, but I’m not really dying to read the next book.
An ARC of this book was provided by the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
What I Liked: Spoilers!
Interesting plot line and characters. Zoe Cosgrove travels to the small, rural town of Bleath for research for a paper she's writing in college (and maybe also to run away from dealing with her recent break up with her cheating boyfriend). The town of Bleath has a high occupancy of psychics, but it's the children who have fantasized their own make believe world that interest Zoe. But nothing is as it seems in the town, as Zoe eventually learns. I did NOT see that ending coming. And even when I was got over the initial shock... I was surprised again on the last couple of pages. Definitely some creepy moments in this novel, which were made even creepier since I'm on third shift and did most of my reading in the middle of the night. =O
Oh my! That ending! I never expected that.
This was spooky, well written, and the characters were well rounded. There were a couple parts that really gave me the creeps and had me jumping at any noise I heard. I kept waiting for that little girl from the Ring movies to pop over for a visit.
At the time of this review, this has $4.99 price tag. Is it worth that? I don't think I would pay that much for this. I would wait for this at a discounted price.
I will definitely read more by this author if the price is right.
I received a copy of this in exchange for an honest review through the Choosy Bookworm R&R program.
