Despite a love of paranormal, I'm a bit of a wuss. I can't watch certain things after dark, can't read certain things before bed, and my daughter has been pre-viewing anything possibly "horror" before I watch it so she can mute it and tell me to close my eyes while she summarizes the scene since she was 12. I enjoy the stories, but I get heebie-jeebies.
I picked up this book to relax before bed one night. NOT a book for me to read before bed! And I mean that as compliment to the author. I made it to the first encounter with the dining room and switched to non-fiction before bed. I got back into this one at lunch the next day & couldn't put it down (daylight...I can read it in daylight without a chaperone).
It gets into the goods quickly and effectively sucks you in. There's the right amount of story questions to keep you wanting to turn the page for answers, but not so many you can't follow where you are with an idea of where you're going. I didn't want to put it down.
The pacing is just about perfect - slow and detailed where it needs to be for as long as it needs to be, but moderate and moving along the bulk of the story. The action scenes are quick and suspenseful. The details are set up before the real action so once it starts, it's going and you're going with it. Beautifully done.
The plot is well crafted and kept me engaged. The characters are believable and likable. And from a marketing standpoint, the last scene works. I spent hours seeing what's going to happen to Audrey & Michael today instead of doing what I was supposed to do - I did make it to the grocery store though, needed snacks for book 2!
