vanishing_librarian 's review for:
The Last House on Needless Street
by Catriona Ward
I was sceptical through the first have of the book. But let me tell you: It picks up after the 200 page count. So, yes this was quite a slow burn for me because for the first 100 pages I didn’t really understand what was going on. Then it took some time for me to get into the story but after that 200 pages I couldn’t put it down!
I agree with everybody though who says you should know nothing about the book before you start it because anything might spoil the twist(s). Also I really enjoyed the writing (after I got over the confusing part in the beginning :D)
So, I did. think a lot about how I rate this book. Because of the struggles I had at the beginning. If I didn’t know that other people really enjoyed the second half and felt similar to me in the beginning I probably would have stopped reading after the first 100 pages. But I am so glad that I didn’t! Hence my confusion about the rating. But not often I am so captivated by a book as I was with this one in the end. So, it might be more of a 3,5 stars for me overall but I would definitely recommend reading this book if you are into dark thrillers (would really categorise this as horror)!
