TBR & Tangents by Rachel

This was an incredibly short and to-the-point horror novel. I appreciated how (for the most part) direct the storytelling was, and how easily the plot moved along. There were some parts I felt that were over-explained which added seemingly unimportant details and dived away from plot. There was a lot of missing “whys” as well, which is just a personal pet peeve of mine. I fully get it was most likely done to keep an air of mystery but it’s frustrating me as a reader when we aren’t privy to it all. Especially as the “event” was never fully explored as to what could have caused it to happen.

The horror presented in this is classic paranormal. I was honestly left feeling let down by how cookie-cutter it was and how the shock effect quickly wore off. What I did find interesting was the significance of religion in both fighting the paranormal and the general background of the plot as well.
