So, I decided to try and give this one another shot. I forced myself to eat more than half of this book. It was dreadful. Sex =/= horror. Even if your man is possessed by a ghost. Rape, maybe. But then, it was consented to. There are too many things wrong with this book and I just can‘t anymore. I gave this like four attempts, maybe even more. I‘m done.

MaryAnn1 Four tries?? You are determined my friend. After two, consider it poo! 🤓 7y
athorne @MaryAnn1 I really, really wanted to like it. Haunted manor, vengeful spirits. But the rest? Noooope. 7y
LauraBrook Agreed, you gave it way more chances than I would have. Hope your next read is a good one! (edited) 7y

Can't seem to sleep. So I'm gonna attempt to knock myself out with more of this arc. Perhaps even literally. #litsyafterdark #alloutofjuice #insomnia

SconsinBookyBadger Insomnia sucks when nothing helps until the sun rises. So glad a perdiem person offered to cover my shift. What‘s you work situation? 7y
athorne @anansigirl I'm too sick to work and presently am fighting for disability. 7y

athorne @anansigirl Thank you! I'm about to take some pain meds and lay down with a heating bad and read. The weather change isn't helping all much. 7y

I swear to god if this book reminds me ONE MORE TIME that Magnus does not have his cane, which is the whole point of the book so far so how could I forget, I'm dropping it. It's even in the damn blurb! And let's not forget the sex scenes every other chapter. Sorry, but horror isn't about sex. It's about fear.

bookaholic1 I'm right there with you! 7y
