#ThoughtfulThursday @MoonWitch94

ShyBookOwl I went through a phase in university where I kept reading Bentley Little books one after another trying to decide how I felt about them 😅 They were so creepy and addictive but I kept wondering if something felt problematic in his portrayals. I never did pinpoint it and now it's been so long I can't even recall what concerned me. I think I might give him another go this October! 2y
MoonWitch94 Thanks for playing 🎃✨🏚🕯📖 2y

RamsFan1963

Mehso-so

95/150 This is only the third book I've read by Little, but I have the same problem with it as the previous two books. Little is great at building tension, building the dread that something horrible is coming, filling the pages with creepy and grotesque images. However, his endings are always so easy, the monstrous evil that's going to destroy everyone is defeated so simply, almost effortlessly, that you have to wonder how big a threat ⬇️⬇️⬇️

RamsFan1963 the monster really was in the first place. This book did have a definite Needful Things vibe going for it, which was interesting until the climatic battle and ultimate letdown. 3 ⭐⭐⭐ 2y
