The Whistling by Rebecca Netley
3.0

Spooky for people who spook easily, I suppose.

There were some sweet and heartfelt moments in this book. The story was good, and the setting and the atmosphere were perfectly descriptive. I would have loved more intrigue. I never once felt unsettled or scared. And I didn’t find myself looking forward to picking up this book to finish it or needing to know what came next. This was meant to be a gothic horror. There wasn’t much horror. It would be more horror-light.

I expected more whistling? The tagline: If you can hear it…it’s already too late, was compelling, but deceptive.

Good book, though I had a hard time getting into it and staying in.
