Enjoy!
pickA soft pick as it was entertaining but I felt like it could‘ve been great. Something was missing for me with this one but I did like that it was creepy and unsettling without using any violence or gore which I hate
pickI read horror, but it must 1) have an intriguing concept; 2) be well written; 3) include great characters; 4) not have gore or violence as it‘s primary premise. This book met and exceeded all my requirements. As a bonus it is written, under a pen name, by the hyper-talented Michael Koryta.
Long ago, a Reservoir project destroyed a town in upstate New York. Some chose to die rather than leave, and they‘ve been working on their revenge ever since.
Here is my post for the PhotoChalange for WinterGames21 @StayCurious, I think I might read this one, it sounds really good, right up my alley
pickMany years ago, the town of Galesburg in the Catskills was flooded to provide water downstream to New York City. But the river and its inhabitants have a long memory and a desire for vengeance. This is a compelling ghost story with strong characters. Full of genuine creepiness and very entertaining.
panI‘m not sure why I finished this one. I enjoyed the ghosts and town history and liked the relationship between Aaron and his dad, but lost interest as it went on. I am disappointed Aaron‘s addiction issues were forgotten by the end. Actually Gillian‘s character / motivation didn‘t hold up either in the end. Bummer.
So satisfying when the real date shows up in your #currentread

so-soThis book was good and could have been great, but there were some missteps. I liked the story of a town, families or the past wanting justice for wrongs. That I could get behind. I think the whole tunneling vindictive, but not aggressive ghosts was too much. They have been hard a work for centuries digging under the mountain to get justice. Hmmmmm.
Leave that out and rework a little bit and it would have been great.
pickAs the title suggests, this is a chilling (🤣) read from start to finish! Set in New York- both upstate and the city, this thriller will have you looking at water and its sources completely differently! When a dam seems to be in peril, history and something more rises up... It is fresh, has some spooky scenes and is entertaining from start to finish! Read this on your next dark and stormy night! Thanks, #NetGalley!
