IMASLOWREADER how is it? 3y

Andrew65 @IMASLOWREADER Just over halfway, enjoyable but could move a bit faster or have a bit more tension. 3y

Whisper Cottage | Anne Wyn Clark

pan

A spooky cottage with an untoward past and a new family moves in with weird happenings occurring. I really wanted to like this story, as I found the premise interesting but it just didn't grab me like I was hoping.
To start off with I felt there were issues with the pacing. I wanted more intrigue and suspense. I would get hints of this very briefly and then the story would quickly move onto more mundane parts of the story.

LazyOwl The dialogue in the story didn't feel natural or believable and therefore I just didn't connect with the MC or any of the other characters for that matter. The MC was a new mother and as a mother myself, it just felt like someone wrote the character based off someone else's idea of a mother. The friend who only features briefly in the book was actually more believable as a mother than the MC.

LazyOwl There was also a twist in the book at one point which I felt was completely unnecessary and didn't seem to fit with the story. It almost felt like it was added in as an after thought.

Maybe others will enjoy this book for what it is, but as I was looking for something spooky and suspenseful it just wasn't for me. 3y

Tove_Reads I also expected a lot more. During the first third I wondered how I even got this book, I would never request one like this. A really strange one. 3y

LazyOwl @Tove_Reads yeah, it was definitely not what I was expecting. 🤷‍♀️ 3y
