I feel like clichΓ©d spooks can be done in a fun way, but it sucks when you finish a horror and you feel like the scary elements were extremely typical. In any case, I'm glad you still found things you enjoyed in this novel.

That being said, it shows in your review - you've really thought about the book. I'm so interested in this one after reading your review and it's not my typical interest. I might just give it a go!

About the relationship...at least there's a reason for Ron to get involved from the start, what with her being an outcast (though in a different way than Marianne) and her mother being a psychic. And the things they get to experience together forge a bond.Roberta R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18228840429799100354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2381281230448720689.post-39856733305665172592020-11-30T23:55:47.826+01:002020-11-30T23:55:47.826+01:00Im really impressed by your rereading habit!
