this book was SUCH a struggle to get through, my god. the author skirts around horror so much that none of the stories are actually scary at all; mysterious, yes, but scary??? not even in the least bit! they were all predictable and horribly boring. this is the second book by this author ive ever read and if this is what all her books are like i dont understand why people like her works so much. theyre not good. so glad im done with this!
