In reply to Susie | Novel Visits. Absolutely. I'm on the fence about trying another one of his books- maybe an older one with consistently high ratings. But it will be awhile as I'm not in a place to commit to even 500 pages these days.

In reply to Amanda. It actually would have been better if that aspect came to fruition, but it all just fizzled out.

I haven’t read this author and I dont have a big urge to read this one either. But I commend you for reading its 700+ pages. Some of it sounds interesting but perhaps not all of it. Too bad for the ending?

I was still mildly curious up til the feeling of evil in pursuit! Hard pass thanks.

When I consider a 700 page book, it has to be something that really intrigues me and this one never did that for me. Had you loved it, I may have reconsidered, but I think I’m relieved that it’s one to skip!

In reply to Sarah's Book Shelves. You're welcome! I think it would have made you nuts. Still, a part of me wonders if I should try another one of his books. I liked his writing style.

In reply to Renee (Itsbooktalk). Thank you! There is something lovely about his writing but this story just ended up meandering with a very unsatisfactory ending. I'm left wondering if I should try another one of his books.

I thought the premise of this sounded intriguing and I’ve wanted to try this author but I don’t think this is for me. Another great review to help me make my decision:)

Well, that’s out. Thanks for vetting! Why oh why do authors still insist on 700 page books? I haven’t read one in a long time that I didn’t think could be cut down by a few hundred pages.
