Red by Alyxandra Harvey
3.0

2.5 I think.

First, I love the cover to this book. It has a creepy feel and immediately drew me in.

I think this is what led to problems for me. I was expecting this to be creepier than it actually was. It definitely has some promise from the paranormal angle but I didn't feel like I had enough explanation as to why Kia is who she is and why Ethan is who he is. Their stories weren't as developed as I wish they were.

This was a fairly quick read and had plenty of action to keep me turning the pages but while there is a bit of a creep factor with the estate and the animals, I found myself missing some information and back story that would have helped me get into this story more.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the review copy.
